That's pretty good mileage, but should you be taking pictures while you're going 50 mph?!

I often get that mileage from Onyx Summit to Redlands on California highway 38. Just keep your foot off the gas except to pull up out of the South Fork of the Santa Ana River.

Now, what is the MPG to get up to Onyx Summit? Might as well be driving a Suburban.

Hell no Sammy - we often do better than that in SA down a mine shaft.
