Vacation results

We're finally back. We took a two week vacation down to chattanooga, TN. We spent 2 weeks sightseeing, fishing, hiking, soaking up the smoky mountains, then we stayed at my parents deep in the country, for a vacation cap we shot skeet(trap for to some people) I missed no singles, and only a few badly tossed nested pairs. Ahh, there's nothing like the south.

Results,

2434.2 miles
45.696 gallons

53.2mpg

The highway legs were the fastest speeds we've used. Tried to run close to 65mph on the leg back. Had a tailwind when we first left that let us run 70mph and still get 49mpg for 4 hours. The car's insides look a little haggard from the trip and she'll be needing a some overdue maintenance.

I'll update the mods to the car next.

Very Nice, Not much on the market today can compare with the S-series for utility AND mpg potential, in my experience.
