2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Mileage Test: VA VS Nada Changed agenda!

[jponder]

I'll be doing a mileage run tommorrow night. Unfortunately i DIDNT GET MY RICKSONS Yet so I cant check mileage due to that. Not one to waste a trip for no info I will run One way with VA and one way without. Its a 500 mile run from Atlanta to Amite, La. I got some good ideas on ways to make it fair as possible so I will check the weather channel for winds at Atlanta,Birmingham,Jackson and amite at the anticipated hours of intercept. The only thorn is I am going to load up a 300lb weight set in La and bring it back to atlanta. My intitial thought is that I will run to La. from Atlanta with no box and back with the box due to my anticipation that a timing box will yeild an increase in mileage. Maybe some of the 700 foot drop in elevation over the run will equal it out some. If I did it the other way i dont think it will yeild much info. If winds are the same and I get better mileage with the VA then I feel pretty confident it is waht did it. Any suggestions before I leave? Clock is ticking
