SCTEX and TPLEX, 20km/ltr, ave 100kph. (No traffic, save for long queue at the toll)
La Union to Vigan netted around 19km/ltr, ave 100kph. (by this time, it was already mid-morning, light traffic)
Stopped at Vigan. Got very disappointed by the ridiculous number of people. Akala ko nasa loob ako ng Tiangge ng Greenhills Shopping complex. Ganon karaming tao. Parang yung herd scene sa walking dead.
And get this, almost all of them were doing jump shots. Buti hindi lumindol sa Calle Crisologo.
Anyway, back to the mileage report:
Vigan to Laoag, 17km/ltr, ave 60kph. There were 5-6 segments of road work where you had to take turns crossing 1 lane. The last segment was around 500m, and nag-iipon ng kotse yung TE. Had to stay idle for 15mins. This killed my mileage.
Laoag to Pagudpod, 15km/ltr, ave 50kph. Awesome, scary drive! It was already 6pm, and pitch black. Snaking mountain roads, no reflectors, no road lights, strong winds, rain!
