Subject:      Cross country fuel costs / Gotta love IOWA rest stops
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

After a relaxing trip through Labrador and Newfoundland I just did a
power drive from NJ to Seattle in our packed 86 Syncro with stock 2.1
engine.  (2,940 miles in 80 hours, including sleep/eat/etc).


If you have to drive cross country on Interstates, go through Iowa.
All their rest stops have FREE Wi-fi and no signs that prohibit
overnight "parking".
