Trip mileage report - 2000 Leg wagon.

[mtsmiths]

Just for those who ask now and then. 2000 Legacy wagon (loaded for camping), weekend 1,300+ mile trip - Whitefish to Gerry Owen and back for The Little Big Horn Battle reenactment. 28.5 mpg trip average - every thing from 4WD drive roads across the Blackfeet rez (Heart Butte cut-off) to I-90 for hours @ 80 mph. TORRENTIAL rains ( high center SUVs in the ditch, Subaru waving as we go by). 163,000 ODO reading when we got home, and no, no HG issues, just the usual ghost CEL. Got some 85.5 octane in Great Falls, Honu does NOT like it, I thnk that is what triggered the CEL this time. Gave it

89 from then on, and a can of Techron (no Seafoam available).

 

One thing I did NOT like about the trip! Our reservations got 'lost' (despite a confirmation and print-out from last week), and we ended up sleeping in the wagon. I'm about six inches longer than the wayback ... and there's a hump in the middle.
