Just passed Lansing, MN

Driving down I-69 heading for Chicago and IKEA, we have driven 475 km
today and have another 280 km to Chicago. So far we have been driving
3722 km with an average speed of 86 km/h and this has taken 43 h and
29 min. The average consumption has been 7.6 l/100 km, which means
that we have used up 282 liters of gasoline and with an average price
of ~$2.70 per gallon the cost so far has been ~$200, which is what we
would had to pay for one person if we would have been flying to the
east coast and then we would had to rent a car anyway so driving has
been the most cost effeciant way for us to go on this vacation even
though it has taken many hours. Well it's now getting very dark at the
horizon, it looks that we are driving in to a thunderstorm just
outside Kalamazoo, could be time to find a place to eat, will be fast
food today.
