route..........................................................

trying to plan this out some.
if i run the little car back east and get a light trailer about the size of a 4X8 from harbor-freight maybe even the 4X4' size would work?
id consider buying a used one, but it would need to still have good wheel bearings....as 3,000 miles is a long-long-ways
the JDM engine trans is about 700lbs + 400lb trailer would keep me legal under OR law, as any loaded trailer under 1,800lbs is fully exempt from plates/tags, though lights are still required....


now the point to the map is gas, more to the point gas with no ethanol.......
im looking for any station along the route thats with-in 40 miles or less of that line that sells any E0 gas thats road grade, not the $8.00+ a gal 110 race stuff lol
for the return if i refuel at about the 1/3 marks of the route i only need to pack about 40 gal...15 of that goes in the tank thus that leaves the need for 5 - 5 gal cans to make the distance on the return getting a assumed 25 mpg average even though i figure it to be closer to 30 mpg.

for the drive there ill likly pull north of 40 mpg, my record so far playing the mpg game with a 20 tale wind, is just under 50mpg
i know first hand this little ford focus reacts strongly to 10% ethanol gas and i loose just about 4 mpg
making 0.40cents a gal my brake even point...
