I did the math, probably about $1,200-$1,300. It would have been nice to have more power up in the high elevations, but honestly range would have been an issue. The Formula is good for maybe 250-280 miles to a tank, the Civic is easily twice that. And it can be a LONG way between gas stations. If you've ever driven back roads in the southwest you know what I mean. Also if you can't make it into and out of Death Valley in one tank, and most cars probably can't, gas in the valley runs about $6/gallon. Then there's the likely possibility of encountering snow, dirt roads etc etc. If, or more likely when, I do this again I might plan a different route and bring the F Bucket.

Here's a few pics from today at Mount Hood in Oregon for the Facebook holdouts

Awesome pics!!!

Where are you heading next?

[Formula413]

Tomorrow is Mount St Helens. You might remember that's the volcano that erupted in 1980. It probably won't happen again any time soon.

My LS1 gets about 27mpg driving it like an old man lol. Enjoy the travels man, sure that a lot of people are living through you vicariously.
