      Turn out was quite awesome. I'm not sure on the final count, but last year it hit 1000+ cars and this year felt quite similar. Quite a few E30s.

                  I got 25mpg (rough calculation from liters per kilometer to mpg), but then again i was pushing the little m42 super hard during the round trip (bc-leavenworth)

                    I'm not discussing MPG figures, or the speeds achieved while coming up Stevens Pass.

                        ;) haha.


                        I didn't go, but my friend went with his VW friends (a handful of VW's broke down lol). He has a 996 911. He called me to tell me he averaged 25mpg going 90 on the way down with his dad as the passenger, the fronk (front trunk) filled with soda and such, and the rear seats folded down to make room for clothes, tent, sleeping bags, ect.

                        He was pretty stoked as he usually averages 15mpg.

                            Don't know the ratio yet, have been too lazy to get my car up on the ramps. But yes m20b25 5spd.

                            Only had difficulty getting up stevens on the west side, was too cold and wet for my little engine.

                              This is a great idea, when all the shows seem to be at least 3-4 hours away from us haha

                                This, +2.

                                I already get appalling gas mileage when cruising regularly. Stevens Pass did NOT help.
