Hi,

Good ideas.

I just got back from a trip to the NC mountains (Boone, Linville falls,
etc).  The highway mileage (65 mph, no ac) was 19!  The next tank, with lots
of 55 mph and lower cruising through the mountains (Blue Ridge Parkway,
etc.) was 18!  It is amazing to me how much better it is without the AC!

Michael
