back from 1800 mile road trip with 05 hah
Trip was great, no problems at all.
Car was loaded with a shoe horn, every available space was filled.
I use 5w-30 in all my cars, HAH too.
Driving from Orlando, FL to Paducah KY = 38.7mpg
Paducah to Orlando = 39.0
I will say I learned something that can only be believed and understood if it happens to you personally.
Here in town our mpg in the city is in the window of 27-30. Rarely out of this range.
In Paducah, even though no hills were encountered, the traffic lights and speed limits absolutely DO NOT allow good mpg at all.
There, I was struggling to get 21-22 MAX ! I now understand why some folks just cant get the mpgs some others are. Its very sad. I had not bought any of the 10% gas-a-hol while driving around Paducah. I did buy one tank full on way home though and noticed no change whatsoever.
