Default 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 ***** inverts, and the number of small boys hotrex has raped in the ***.



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.
