I have been on it from Banning to just past Idyllwild. Twisty and probably crowded on weekends. Real nice park with a lake (Lake Fulmor) about 3/4 way from banning to idyllwild, but need a park permit, There are so many different jurisdiction parks up there I can't remember if its State, County or City.

In Idyllwild in downtown but on a back street east of 243 is a good pizza place with a big parking lot there is a market there also. If they are open and repairs are needed the Idyllwild garage is not the cheapest but they are honest, unlike Certified Tire in Banning.

Well Some of us did a turbo buick run early that day too. I used less then a quarter of a tank on the motorgen part of the day. I think I drove 350 miles that day

Ortega Hwy. (Our regular route) At least there won’t be 87 metric tons of gravel being kicked up onto our cars.

No cruise for me for a while. Went out on a 6 hour cruise yesterday and i'm sure it was hard on the car. I only have about 2300 miles on my rebuilt motor and i'm not trying to blow it anytime soon.

We started in Temecula and went all the way to ocotillo wells the longest way we could find. All the way down the 79 then up through Julian and the Banner grade, then on to the s-2 then on to the s-22 then turned on some road and a little while and a lot of twisties later we made it. Anyway, about 4 of those 6 hours were drive time and I was on the car about 2-3 of those hours probably.

while i agree, the tank is the 07 is roughly the same size, there is no reason a stock 5.0 engine should be getting 10mpg with only 54k on it
