[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 127810, member: 2409"] Meant to hit "preview" but hit "post" instead. Would like to add that weather conditions were ideal with temps in the low 20s C and little if any wind. I ran at 65 to 70 mph most of the trip. So gas mileage is probably about as good as it's going to get. I wonder if the fact that Calgary is 4000' above sea level has an adverse affect on mileage. I did run it up to 100mph indicated just to see if it would do it, on a long straight stretch. Would have gone much faster. There was one scary thing that happened but it working out OK. All these roads are 1 lane each way and there was a stretch that was being repaved and it was the lane I was travelling in. The flag girl waved us past which meant that we all had to go into the oncoming lane. We passed the paving operation and then were supposed to get back into our lane which was, then, not yet repaved. Trouble is it had a very fresh, slippery looking coating of oil/tar on it. All the cars went into the oily lane but I stayed on the wrong side in order to avoid the oil. Luckily there was no oncoming cars. I wasn't scared of getting tar on the GW but it looked very slick. Eventually some cars did come and I had to go over into the tar but by that time it had dried some so wasn't too slippery. Brian [/QUOTE]
