Thanks for all the advice.
We will be going to the Evergreen Aviation museum as well as the Tillamook Air Museum.
On the car, I already run my tires in the high 40's and try to hypermile and take advantage of battery capacity when possible. The extra battery capacity comes in handy when on mountain roads. Empty the batteries going up to avoid a mpg penalty and recharge going down. Last fall I took my son to Yellowstone and for the round trip I managed 80mpg including using the highway at 65 mph. In the park we did better due to all the mountains and being able to take advantage of fuel cut / recharging along with the reduced park speed limit.
The trip will be just over 1800 miles and my goal is 80 - 85 mpg, maybe higher if possible. My previous long trip was about 1200 miles @75mpg with mima, but minus the extra battery pack.
