UKPylot’s MINI Blog

It was such a nice day going home Friday that I took a detour and took some footage for RB, maybe bring back memories of racing in the Valley!

Filled up tonight at $3.91 but I saw plenty of gas stations at $4.01 so I would not be surprised if my next tank, or the one after, hits that ‘magic’ mark. Ouch. Maybe I will go back to slowing down a bit on the way to/from work, squeeze out some extra mpg.

Not a great success, aurally, but you can at least see the pretty view I have on my weekly 2hr commute to San Diego. It’s a 3-parter: part 1 shows some of the Valley floor, part 2 is a video of the long climb up the gas-sapping hill to the top of the pass, part 3 shows some of the high desert. Here’s part 1. At the end of the video there are links to my other videos from which you can see the other 2.
