Got home at 2:30 p.m. 

Truck, trailer, and Spyder all performed perfectly all weekend. Lenny made it home safely a couple hours later. The 10,000 pound rig got 7.8 MPG average on the way down, but 8.9 on the way home. This proves that it is uphill to the Smokies(2000 feet plus), and downhill to the North(and 300-400 feet ASL). Really not bad considering 70 mph average speed.

Speed was the single biggest contributor to my less than stellar fuel consumption on my journey to/from Bremen. But it sure beat poking along in the slow lane.
