GVW is 4500, I figure with extras and whatnot, somewhere a bit over 5k. So yes, definitely heavy, and the Expy is 7500lbs, so I figure with the trailer and gear, I am rolling between 13000 to 15000 lbs. Yikes, no wonder I was getting 8mpg until I got further north where they don't dilute gas with ethanol. Now I am getting around 11-12 mpg, means ethanol is actually making the environment worse...

Thats awesome that someone spotted me!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw a yota behind me today with blacked out headlights and a funky grill insert, thought it was a VX for a second... I am getting super paranooid/hyped.

Unfortunately, my VX engine blew almost exactly a year ago. I was driving [sarcasm]an ultra-rare Mazda 3[/saracasm]. That stretch of road is where I've had my worst driving experiences and the lanes are just so poorly marked.

But we are a-holes drivers.:smilewink Be safe and safe travels to everyone.
