It is just getting light when we get going in the morning. The closest fuel is $.20 less than at the major truckstops so we fuel here. I'm using a discount card that cuts me off at 20 gallon so I quit there. It's not quite full but we will need to fuel again before delivery. This is another one of those vans that says I can go 600+ miles when I fill it and then is empty after 250 miles. So that 'range' feature is pretty worthless.

One rest stop today at Goodfield, IL then a food and fuel stop at Covington, IN. We don't need a DOT break today but we do need to eat so we inhale our food at Arbey's after we guess on our fuel. No waiting for food here, our sandwiches were ready before the chip reader was done.

Greenwood, IN, the final fuel is at a Road Ranger Pilot across the freeway from our drop. It's a fast pump and I put in $.10 cents more than I will get paid back for. I did over fill last stop, my low fuel light was not on yet but I was down to a quarter tank. So I could have put in a couple of less gallons but then I risk having to stop again. This trip we were watching the time more than the money.

Avis is about four miles away so we stash BB's RV at the truckstop and pick up the rental car. Original plan was to pickup a rental at the airport which is about 30 mile away. But by picking one up not at the airport and dropping in Waterloo instead of MSP it was half the price for the car, no taxi needed and less time.

I had my RV inspected before going to get BB's, it took them about a half hour to do the paperwork but not much time doing an inspection. When BB was going to park her RV, I was walking with the inspector and we heard a loud crunch and then saw someone take the corner off of someone's RV. Tail swing. The guy moving didn't stop so the inspector ran after him and I finally yelled. He stopped.He hit the RV about a foot before the corner, pushing it sideways until it was past.

No damage on ours though.

Lots of wind today so watching the trucks closely as they pasted or we passed them. We drove 65 mp this trip to make delivery before the weekend. My rpm's tac about 2,500. It looks like I'd have to drive 55 to make the range / mpg that it shows when I fill. I ended up loosing $.36 and that was with getting almost a half tank of free fuel. BB lost $3 on fuel on her RV.

Opps, they are still working on the road at I-65 and I-465 and I missed my turn, ended up going into Indy and taking I-70 back to the beltway. By now it was long past lunch so we stopped at McDonalds in Brownsburg. I hadn't planned on getting anything, but they had the McRib so I just had to have one.

From there we made it back to Goodfield rest area and ... Knoxville, IL. For our fourth meal of the day. Hardee's and a quesadilla for me.

In order to get the car delivered in 24 hours be needed to get back as far as Cedar Rapids. Quality Inn in Cedar Rapids was our motel, we usually stay across the street at the Clarion but it was a few dollars cheaper at the Quality Inn tonight. But they don't have much for parking so if we have more than a rental car we will be at the Clarion.
