Default Dayton this year?

Sweet.

Even my Prius doesn't get that kind of mileage. And the Diesel was
much simpler. Perhaps the compromise is to do Dayton every other year,
or every third year.

Luckily diesels are starting to come back to the USA I believe. I (not in the US) have a
VW 1.9 diesel engine using abt 4.5liters/100km average per tank (local roads, traffic
jams, 60miles one way to work every day). That is 52 miles to the gallon. My car is a
bit bigger than the old Rabbit and has over 200.000 miles on it and is over 9 years old.
