Trip from Banning CA. to Phoenix AZ this past weekend (some strong
headwinds coming back along I-10, but pretty much a straight shot..
interstate the whole way)

15 mpg

Equip: 1996 SLT ext. cab V8 auto-trans (3.55 rear end) 4x4
                  K & N Filter (in stock housing) Century Fiberglass cap

Fuel: Unleaded 87 octane

Speed: 75-80 mph

I''ve noticed that if I hold the speed down to 60-65 I get appreciably
better milage (in the 17-20) range, is it worth the trade off to arrive at
my destination later? not usually.

ps: YMMV ;-)
