In Florida...

Well things went well! Had a few mishaps that I'll post later since I can only be on the net for a few min.

Preliminary results are indicating I averaged around 14.5 mpg - towing at 65mph. Not bad, hopefully I'll get over 20mpg on the way home like I did last time.

I'm in Indian Rocks Beach right now, about to go to gators, do a little bowling and hopefully see some chickies

I figured I'd let ya'll know!

Well it was high 70's the whole time I was there. Really nice.

Ate at places like Gators, Holiday Inn, and McDonalds lol.

I got 14.5 mpg towing the dodge down there (overhead console said 21.4). And I got 16.5 mpg towing the dollies back up (overhead console said 28.2) lol. This really sucked because I averaged above 20mpg on the way back last year unloaded. I guess that's not too bad for a GCVW of over 9,000 lbs and 6 tires on the ground! We tried putting the dollies in the bed, and busted a tail light crap!

ANyways, it was a safe, fun, and pretty easy trip. I had ONE run in w/ a big rig, but other then that no biggie.
