Of course I NEVER drive that slow. LOL. I'm usually going 80 plus down 5.
I hate riverside. I used to live there. LOL. I'll be heading down sometime around the holidays though I think. Go visit my family.
Your girl going to UCR?

Yea I can't even get that out of my stock '12 forester. Best I got was 26.5 but that was also travelling 75 behind a Chevy Tahoe. On the way home it went to 25.5. But yea, I don't drive 65 or 70. I drive 75 or 80 most of the time.

Driving 75 down 5 I always have to fill up right before the grapevine. Avg was about 23 when I was stock and with my tune I'm at about 22.

Oh yeah and to the OP. Stop in buttonwillow or lost hills to get gas. Not bad prices and very convenient since there is a handful of places you can eat whether you wanna sit down at Denny's or grab a quit bite and taco bell, carls jr, subway, whateverrrr

I've gotten more than 27mpg going from SJ to Mexico. And I'm generally at 80mph throughout all of I-5. I'd say on average I get about 26. This is with a catless turboback and Accessport stage 2 tune.
