Our local club (UBSCC) took a run through the hills around Placerville & Volcano CA yesterday. We left at 9:15am, and got home at 5pm. Lots of stops and an excellent lunch in Volcano. I don't know how many miles we went but there were 12 cars. I had two cars on the run. A TR3 and my Austin Healey BJ8. Both went the same miles, same speed. At the end we filled up with gas. The TR3 burned 6 gal and the Austin Healey used 10 gal. I did not figure actual mileage in either car but the comparison was interesting. Both cars do very well in the hills. You can drive in 4th up the hills if you want. Beautiful day.
