    Took a trip to southern Indiana today...even with all the snow still on the ground...temps climbed into the upper 40s F...low 50s F...filled up and drove from Southern Indiana back to FWA...mileage was 52.1 across the entire trip at 60mph...a nice feeling to see above 50 in the dead of winter...but of course it wont last...in Indiana we have 5 climates...cool, cold, colder, coldest, and absolutely ridiculous...

    68 here today. After a calculated 44.4mpg on my previous tank (filled this morning) I'm showing a sweet summer-like 55.8mpg about 160 miles into the current tank.

    I'm wearing shorts and T-shirt tomorrow...may hit 70 here!!
