You might think that driving in Los Angeles is just about traffic, but if you hit the road at the right time and with the right route you can go from the beaches to the mountains and wineries back to the city all on just one tank of gas (or less!).  Travel Correspondent Alyssa Caverley set out to do just that behind the wheel of a fuel-efficient vehicle. Follow the journey as she drives to the beaches of Huntington and Laguna, takes in the views and culinary experiences at an upscale resort, and ventures into the little-known wine country of Temecula Valley.
