Non Turbo Travel Times Out West

[Ed Hackenbruch]

Lin, I-10 to about 12 miles past Quartzsite (exit 31) where you get onto Hiway 60, go thru Wickenburg about 10 miles and get onto Hiway 74 which takes you to I-17. Easy route to do, misses all of Phoenix area.    Ed

Ed, that is an interesting route.  One of the options that comes up on Google Maps is taking 62 from where we live to Parker, Az. Then Az 95 south for a bit and joining 60 there all the way to Wickenburg and 17.  For us, the mileage is less than going down to 10, but I was not sure what those roads and traffic are like.  If they are good 60mpg roads, they would be a nice choice.

no..hot air rises and tends to reduce traction...which cause drag....which puts a load on the alternator...
