Well, that sucks, but on the bright side, more time to build and fly? (insert cheesy grin)
What I found to be the best part of the drive was doing it on 17 gallons of gas. My truck got 24 MPG @ 70 MPH. A 3 ton brick getting 24 MPG is just unheard of. This is hand calculated using Fuelly too, so no tricks. The entire trip , with a lot of city driving, which I normally don't do, came out to a whopping 22 MPG.
