I got to my mother's house and slept for 6 hours before driving another 2 1/2 hours to the reunion near Price. I did a lot of driving when I was down there and had no break-downs. The engine didn't seem to use any oil at all. There was a noticeable loss in power at high elevations. It cost me about 6 tanks of diesel. Here are some videos of driving through the Heber City area: oldhousemidway.MPG and mainstreetmidway.MPG and deercreekdrive.MPG

On the way back I drove 10 hours, slept at a Wal-Mart Super Center, then drove another 3 hours until I was home. The car was very comfortable, however, I don't feel like doing much driving again for a while!
