Any idea how many miles? Also, it might be good to plan out a couple rest stops / gas up spots, maybe in the larger towns... (Middletown, Nice, etc...)
the red dots would be good stops

The drive is about 175 miles and 4.5 hours drive time. This includes the return to SR via 101. The time frame doesn't include any stops so figure another 2 hrs.

If you start out with a full tank of gas you won't need to refill during the trip.

Before heading down 101 from Hopland we should stop and see if we want to end there or in Healdsburg for one last refreshment stop.

if we R 2 have a gas stop than there R "76" 100+ octain sellers in Santa Rosa we could fill up there and ALL could see how smooth the Z's run with 93octain in them .

We might have to run a couple of tanks through before the ECU recognizes the difference, but I'm no expert in that area.

Not to be rude but I don't think any of the 76's here in town sell the higher octanes... maybe the list shows Infineon Raceway because they do sell it there at the track (and that's a 76 station).

*shrug*

I think that is the only one. You can buy up to 120 octane there.
I think. I know they have three grades over 100+.

OK I know what you are talking about now. I didn't know they were a 76 outlet. I buy some special oils there for printing presses. Thanks for the heads up.

just got back from the test run, shoulnd be a blast

only took about 2.5 hours to get from Santa Rosa to The Casino, andI got there with only half tank of gas so you guys should be fine if you fill up in SR since I know you guys get better mileage than me

The Casino is WAY nicer than I thought, since I had only been to that Twin Pine one that was in a big circus tent good looking buffet too!

Okay guys see you at 9am on Sun!

The 24th it is. Glad to hear the route is to your liking . I tried to come up with a variety of driving requirements and wanted to break up the twisties with some "relaxed" time in between.

Even if it was the 17th that would be a Saturday not Sunday We would have missed you .

FYI, the 24th is a Saturday
