  1. I just drove from Atlanta to Greensboro North Carolina -about 300 miles.  Average speed was 42 miles an hour. After delays of several hours due to wrecks, my 6 hour trip turned into 9 hours plus. Started trip with cruise at 63 but after all the delays I set the cruise at max posted speed.  The Eaton-Vorad really helped.  Overall gas mileage was 5.1 towing my Wagoneer.
     It’s strange how the nascar types will come out of a faster traffic flow just to cut me off then swap lanes again in a 1/4 mile.  Seems like they get credit for making somebody hit the brakes…
    On another stretch, I had my Eaton-Vorad following the car in front (fast lane) but the autos kept streaming in front pushing me further back in the passing que.  I finally cancelled cruise, floored my ISX to get past the slower center lane, then exited the fast lane and was able to resume at the max posted speed, in one of the middle lanes. Learning the virtue of patience…

  2. We built a Costco across the street from Bucee's in St Augustine, FL.  we used to joke about who spent the most there.  I'd usually walk across the street every other day and it was always $15 - $75 per trip.  I think we tried every food item they offered and most all was good or better....
