Old yaris 218k miles, 30k+ road trip?

[seatech30]

Hi Guys, I should be making it into Alaska today. Total of 4 days from Vancouver. Hardest pushes were the first 3 days, especially the middle one from Prince George to Kinaskan Lake.

I've done all the NPs in California, Oregon and Washington. Stayed 3 nights in Vancouver. Couldn't stand Porland, so I left. Had to stall two days for a b reactor tour, and suffer through Seattle side traffic three times. Everywhere away from big cities has been my best times.

My favorite picks so far have been Crater Lake and Pinnacles. I ended up spending much more time in Pinnacles than I planned and ended up in bay area traffic because I had sent a package to Fremont amazon locker, thinking I'd wiz by at non rushhour times. Lol

Something amazing has happened while on the mountains and driving slow on the freeways. I almost got a 500 mile tank! 489. Could have totally pushed to the next station, but it was almost midnight and didn't want to get stuck on the freeway that late at night and tired. I still had .4 gallons. I had never known how to achieve above 42MPG. Now I do.

I'm still debating how to post pics, whether you guys want to see them all or just top picks. I've been doing my best to take as few pics as possible. Let me know what you guys think. I was thinking maybe get an instagram, but I don't think that's for albums.

Type-Y I hope you enjoyed my last paragraph.

2007yariz, I got stuck in Washington west side which is almost desert. It hit 90F and I was Frying. I ended up getting an Airbnb the second day. I think if I can be out of the car most of the day and get back to it by sundown I'll be ok. The fans I made don't pull in as much air through the air intake of the car as I expected. You can tell they stop straining when I open the door. I have been running them at lowest speed (3 settings) so I'll have to test at full later on. I'm not looking forward to anything above 75F in humidity. Lol thanks for the insider tips. I actually didnt get to do the caves in Oregon, but the Luray caverns may be a good substitute. What do you mean not free? Does an annual NP not cover the entry? I'll look into it.

I've uploaded a timelapse video, 1hr to 1min, of my California drive so far, if anyone is interested. All50orbust on YouTube. I plan to post highlights in real time as I have time. I'm also posting on reddit with the same username.

Edit: sorry, after posting, I realized the top entries has been flipped, due to not having a timestamp (tossed receipts too soon.) Top two entries should be 44MPG each when the gallons is switched around. Now I'm curious if I goofed on the other 48.37.
