Day 2

Day 2 > West Memphis, AR to Amarillo, TX (717 miles - 10.5 hours)

This morning started off very cold with rain and fog. Winds were a steady 20mph with 40mph gusts. Through portions of Oklahoma we had heavy flurries. Eventually we made it to the backside of the front and found sunny skies.

Driving was smooth and steady. Great roads and very little traffic. However, OK City was pretty rough and cops were everywhere - seriously everywhere.

Both cars are performing extremely well - it is incredible how they just hum along. I've used a 1/4 qt of oil over 1400 miles which is nice to know. We are averaging around 20 mpg which is acceptable given the fact that we are running steady at around 80-85mph and we were in a head wind all day today. Forgot to mention that we can only get 90 octane here in TX.
