Saturday, October 16, 2021:  The morning after Mark and Paula arrived back to Brainerd after a 2037 mile trip to Grand Rapids Michigan.  Their Ford Lincoln Nautilus, with all-wheel drive and a 2.7L engine, gave 30.4 miles per gallon using regular gas on the first seven-hour leg of the trip to Escanaba, Michigan.  Air conditioning was on most of the way.  Mark said, "This car runs very quiet, with its Bose noise-cancelling system, and just glides over the road."  Changing drivers from time to time, Mark did about 60% of the driving while Paula drove 40%.  With many stops and cities along the way, it averaged out to 27 miles per gallon.  The trip kept them on the road for 12 nights.  See the trip blog:
