I was looking for brutal, while we were coming through Colorado today. All i saw was snow coveted mountains and wind turbines u till we went through Denver, and then i had to pay attention so i didn't get oon the toll rds, you aint getting my money brutal. I know ill get some grief about thisbut i don't( G.A.S). So i made a fuel run and ended up putting 49 gallons in it, yea yea i know. The concerning part was the low fuel light illuminated on the dash when there was the 3.2 gal left and only stayed on for a few seconds and went out and I never saw it again. I honestly didn't think I wad that low because the light came on up a step grade then went out, do I wad waiting for the light to come back on again, nope, unless I don't know we're to look.
I eeould like to comment though m this is kind of what I was talking about the other day when we were discussing the big 3 up and down the gauntlet in a comparison and I commented on , but we will never know all underlying conditions and drive styles. Yesterday I drove 75-80 mph pulling 13k into a strong head wind and only got 7.5 mpg. Today i drove 70-80 mph with no wind, 13k and got 11 mpg. Huge difference. Weather and 5mph made 3.5 miles per gal difference and I want babying it.
If you came across I-70 I'm 20 miles south of the I-70 e-470 interchange. If you came up I-25 from south of Denver then you passed within about 10 miles of me to the west at the c-470/e-470 interchange (west is Lexus lane toll, east is all toll). I'm about 12 miles east of the Cabela's if you saw that exit.
If you saw wind turbines, that had to be on I-70.
I hope you waved as you rolled through.
