anyways, it was a pretty good trip. I got there in 4 hours and 20 minutes. my best time yet 
. I'm like George on Seinfeld, I have to make good time. I was driving over 80 miles an hour nearly the entire way. The only traffic I hit was in Las Vegas. Which goes to show you we have more traffic than southern California. 
. Okay, okay, I didn't actually go into Los Angeles, I know they have more traffic.
That was 4 hours and 20 minutes from Spring Mountain, and I-15 in Las Vegas, to hotel circle on I-8 in San Diego.
I rented a Chevy Aveo. 2 days rental was pretty cheap. And I spent less than $50 on gas. So I ended up paying about the same price I would have payed if I drove my pickup. Because my pickup uses twice as much gas. This little car was pretty powerful. I had no problem doing 85 mph doing up the mountains. And people feel the need to drive SUV's.
. Yes I know, I drive a big vehicle too, but I actually take mine off road and go camping in it. Though I think it still might be cheaper to by a chevy aveo, and rent a larger vehicle to go camping, as I don't go as often as I would like (difficult to get time off). but my point is, americans do not need 8 or even 6 cylinder engines. If my little ass car could do 85 mph up those mountains with a 4 (it might be 3 for all I know about it) cylinder engine, then that should be sufficient. I passed all these other supposedly powerful SUV's like they were standing still.
I'm too lazy to do the math, but I suppose you could do the trip in 3 hours if you drove about 100 mph. You have to time it just right to avoid the rush hours though. In Las Vegas, our rush hour is all day long. Traffic is heavy till about 9 or 10 o clock at night, then finally things start to die down. Except for the Las Vegas strip (and surrounding areas like Koval lane and Paradise), there, it doesn't die down until 3 or 4 o' clock in the morning.

. Not that I got that many. We don't have anything like D&B's here. We do have arcades in the casinos, that's all we have.
