Hey what can I say, my typing fingers must be getting ahead of my
brain. Last trip to the central Calif. coast, gave me a round trip of
32 Miles per gallon. AND we came back up highway 1, from Cambria, a
real BEAUTIFUL trip. And didn't take all that much longer than the
freeway route we took down, cause once you take the offramp from 101
to get over to Cambria's coast, that road takes pert near 45 minutes
alone.
