Vernon, BC to Whistler, BC and back (same way) via hwy 97, 1, and 99 (not through Vancouver) on one tank of gas.827.5 kms on 49.332L of gas (regular Esso 87).I drove purposely with a light foot, never letting the car get above 100km/h although on hwy 99 between Lillooet and Pemberton that's not really a problem, holding 80km/h is fun enough. On the way there and back I followed vehicles doing the speed limit except on 99 where there are rarely any vehicles.Speed limits on these hwys: Vernon to Monte Creek, 90km/h; Monte Creek to Kamloops, 100km/h; Kamloops to Savona, 90km/h; Savona to Cache Creek, 100km/h; Cache Creek to Lillooet, 80km/h; Lillooet to Pemberton, 50% 60km/h 50% 80km/h; Pemberton to Whistler, 80km/h.

Yes, I never told the wife how much gas I had left or why I was going so much slower then normal. Usually I take the freeways and drive like a bat out of hell (just like everyone else) and get close to 700 if I'm lucky!

This thread reminds me of the Seinfeld Episode... "I have been in the slash many times"
