Made it back today in one piece, car ran perfect. Never broke 190 degrees even in traffic, and averaged just over 21 mpg total (16 mpg uphill to Reno and 26 on the way back). I think it will exceed 21 mpg on a flat run.

There is something going on in the rear end; sounds like a diff issue, clunking and bad noises on tight turns. I just had new gears installed in June as well as a complete re-do of the true trac diff. I'm going to take a look at it later, but it didn't quit on me and made no noise cruising down the road.
