Default Boy -- Do I Love hot weather!

I took a four day trip over a long weekend, and I love the California central valley weather when it comes to mileage. Coming home, it bumped me up almost 2 MPG. Those of us in the Pacific Nortwest don't get the chance much to see those kind of numbers.

46.1 MPG on I-5 and old 99 cruising along at 63 miles per hour. Woo Hoo!

(On the way down the tank wasn't so good because I had to run the AC from Fresno to south of Bakersfield -- Hot, Hot, Hot, but still got 44+.)

i don't use A/C unless the outside temperature is greater than 80F. The A/C drops mileage by ~3 mpg.
