Road Trip


I headed off on my road trip on Friday morning to Ann Arbor with my 3 year old daughter. She was an absolute peach and I got through most of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy while she slept. Eleven hours on the road, 669 miles and 41 mpg. Whahoo! The EPA gives the CDI a rating of 33 Hwy and 23 City. Hmmm. I stuck to the speed limit the whole way. I rolled over the odometer (100,000 mi.). I ran my tire presures at 40 psi as the Continental tires I have are rated to 51 psi. I seem to have more black smoke on sudden acceleration than I remember, but I have a can of Sea Foam in the fuel (carbon deposit remover) so maybe this is the issue.
