RE: Burns, OR to the coast
There are a number of routes depending on where on the coast you are going.
N. OR coast, take 26 or 22.
Central OR coast, take 126.
S. OR coast, take 158.
Personally, I would avoid 20 through Sweethome though. The road is more narrow and windy than the other routes. Additionally, an ongoing landslide just before you get to the S. Santiam River has you on gravel for a short section.

RE: Hyw 199 from Grants Pass to Crescent City California
x2 what mtnbbud said.
There are a couple tight spots, but big rigs run up and down that road all the time. Just go slow and enjoy the scenery (you'll be along the Middle Fork of the Smith River).
The smoke is from the Flat Fire (named for Oak Flat CG along the Illinois River, near where it started) that is just a couple miles south of Agness. Presently, most of the smoke is going south(ish) which would likely impact Hwy 199 (i.e.; there will be smoke)
Have fun.

RE: Interesting mpg last trip
Sounds like a nice truck and an interesting comparison. Certainly an improvement in fuel efficiency. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting that (with your new truck), you are seeing a 22% increase in fuel usage for a 13 mph increase in speed.
I think I'll keep poking along at about 55.

RE: Trip to Alaska
.... after a quick sidetrip up the Dempster to the Arctic Ocean.
There is absolutely nothing "quick" about the Dempster. Beautiful drive, but plan a two or three days each way. Tombstone Park is amazing though.

RE: Trip to Alaska
X2
Take both routes! Go up on one and return on other.
Roads are about equal.
Fuel is available on both routes. Some distances between fuel locations vary. You need to use good maps and watch signs for distances. You know how big of tank you have, your mileage and driving habits.
