A little text recap on the spring adventure so far and we are now in Charleston South Carolina:
The Flying Scotsman has logged 2423 miles since we left Austin and is performing extremely well. We have been getting an average of 9 mpg on the diesel tab making for about 269 gallons being combusted so far to make this thing go ... at times over 75 mph. We have been averaging $4.00 a gallon pretty much evenly for the whole trip with very little variation for a total gas cost of about $1076.
The nightly site rental has been much more extreme.
Panama City (Tyndall AFB) $22
Williston $38
Fort Myers $60 for each of two nights
Key Largo $70
Key West $120 EACH NIGHT for two nights
Port St Lucie $60
Jacksonville (Mayport Naval Base) $19
Charleston $38
I would like to say the quality was usually equal to the cost but far from it as I have posted on the rest of the blog ... with more to follow.
Oh yeah, the old HHR has logged the same 2423 miles behind us and ... jeez ... hasn't burned a gallon of gas yet ... pretty efficient I'd say.
