I tried this automotive trip theory on a trip from Loveland Colorado
to
Columbus Ohio.

It took 2 long days not 1 short one. I got the same gas mileage in
a van that would carry 3X what the plane would at 1/3 the speed.

Being catatonic on the long trip, was not an option. There were
vehicles 2' away driven by crazy people.

Afternoon of the second day I could hardly stay awake.

When I got home, I kissed my airplane.
