averaged 8.6mpg this weekend.  felt HEAVY in the hills.  was super annoyed at Rt11/15 BS on the way down, decided to head up 81 and take the RC way home. 

need to get the tuner back on and fill DEF tank


paid 2.95 for diesel in PA  on the way there boooo
troy paid 2.69 for diesel on the way home at sheetz in Elysburg.

Truck stops are always .50+ then the current price, even the dans ville and Waterloo stops are way overpriced then home
