Got stuck in traffic on 1-5 through Portland, there was an accident. It was raining pretty good. And I remembered you saying (at the outdoor BBQ with ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, mmmm) I could take 405, it loops around to the west. I did that and it takes you way up on this great bridge and you can see around. I would do that next time in any case just to go over that bridge.
Drove home around 70-85 mph (4500 rpm plus at times) and averaged 25-27 mpg depending on the hills. People drive slow in Oregon. Of course, you're in Oregon - where do you want to rush off to? I think they should post 80 mph, then people might drive the currently posted 70 mph.
