Oregon gas sucks
 
Yeah I'm still on vacation and bored waiting for someone to come home.

So I noticed that on the Sun Lakes camping trip that my gas mileage was pretty normal heading out.

The usual 30-32mpg I have been getting from Oregon 92 octane

Trip to Sun Lakes:

Fill up in Wilsonville, Oregon
Below 1/4 tank, almost empty
Drive to Everett, Washington
Fill up again
Drive to Sun Lakes

Trip Home:

Just under 1/4 tank left
Fill up near Sun Lakes in Ephrata, Washington
Drive to Longview, WA
1/4 tank left
Fill up there
Drive to Salem, Oregon
3/4 tank left.


Anyways, I did some math. From the oregon gas I got the normal 30-32mpg up to everett.

On the way home, From Ephrata to Longview I managed almost 40mpg, it was about 39mpg actual.

yeah, and then i figured in the altitiude, barometric pressure, humidity, position of the sun, the current temperature in Fargo, how many inches spensers penis inverts, and the number of small boys hotrex has raped in the ass.

::)

it was round trip johnny, same roads there, same roads back. the uphill time and downhill time isnt all that different. If I had to guess I'd say you spend more time going uphill on the way back.

Don't forget about the current strength of the Yen and phase of the moon, they are key factors in any Honda's gas mileage.
