Pronstar’s CA adventure #3 - FML

[Tnhawk]

5.19/gallon. Ouch.

That's Not even 24 MPG. Where's that hybrid bump? The Prius, even after they de-rated it Was supposed to get 50 mpg...

Just as wind mills, solar panels and EVs, most don't perform as promoted.

 

[Brains]

Yikes. Even my 6.4L land barge averages over 20mpg.

Any problems with it? I remember the 6.4 Powerstroke was supposed to be a crappy engine.

Sounds like the battery pack is nearly dead. I'd make the rental place provide a new one.

So our Airbnb is in a pretty nice area on a hill. But it’s CA…and right this very moment, a ghetto bird is circling overhead, announcing over the loudspeaker that they’re looking for a felony suspect in the neighborhood

Well yeah, driving a hybrid on gas only is a felony there. Better make a break for Texas.

The ship/ museum is pretty cool. When my kids was younger they kept riding the airplane elevator. Man that thing is fast.

We took Dani the au pair on a field trip to Hollyweird to see some touristy stuff that I thought y’all might enjoy

 

[Texasgordo]

Was it gross around there?

Epically disgusting

 

[pronstar]

So I cracked the code for affordable fuel…sorta.
E85 is about $2/gallon cheaper, almost the same price as I’m paying in Texas.

 

[popsgarland]

My truck can use regular gas or the E-85. I've used both over the years while traveling and
I got better mileage with regular than with the E-85. I don't remember the exact difference
But I think I got around 3 miles more per gallon with the regular than the E-85.
With a full tank at 24 gallons, that's 72 miles.

au pair?

21 year old, gorgeous Swedish, busty blonde au pair or the Babuska kind of au pair?

au pair?

21 year old, gorgeous Swedish, busty blonde au pair or the Babuska kind of au pair?

Closer to the former than the latter
She’s a good kid…I'm as old as her dad

 

[pronstar]

Glad to be home, rolled-in late last night

Nice. Glad you finally had a good round trip without any problems.

Yeah this trip was perfect for the most part. No complaints.
