Nice, was it like a full freeway trip at 50mph? lol Give us details how it happened.

Best I did was 493 miles, not sure what the mpg were at the time

Wow must be nice..my best 360 miles and i thought that was impressive..straight city driving.

I filled up in Orange County, CA & drove all the way to Scottsdale & then two days to work and back. 98% Highway Miles but mostly 70-80 MPH on cruise control. I looked down and my meter went to " ---- " and I pulled into a shell station to fill it back up.

Pretty impressive for a Z!

Good Morning JAR, good morning all! :hello:

Nose to the grindstone again today.

Looks like mrs. gurney will be getting a new car soon. Time to trade-in the MDX; it's too big for our needs now, barely fits in the new garage, and is six years old (a record for the gurney household).

Current contenders are 2013 Acura RDX (my choice :happydance:), 2012 Honda CR-V (ms. gurney's choice - she's cheap :icon17:), and the darkhorse candidate making a run for the title - 2013 Mazda CX-5.

This weekend is shaping-up to be shop and drive time. The CX-5 is a great value - same price as the CR-V with a lot more features.

I think once the misses sees what she will be giving up equipment-wise going from the MDX to a CR-V/CX-5; i.e. memory seats, power, quality of materials, etc., she may change her mind. However, don't underestimate ms. gurney's stubborn streak just to make a point. :bowrofl:

In the end, it's her car, so it's her choice. At our age, and the limited mileage we now put on our cars since the move to Houston, this could theoretically be her last car.

I MIGHT hit 7,500 miles on my Z this first year of ownership, and that's with three major road trips and a cruise a month. Not bad for a daily driver. Ms. gurney's commute is a whopping five mile round trip now.

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on events as they unfold.

Have a great day all! :tiphat:

P.S. mr. happy - any luck with finding some new wheel studs for the spacers?

On my last return trip from New Orleans to Houston, I averaged 28.4 driving anywhere from 60 mph (Atchafalaya Spillway - Trooper Ticket Zone) to 90 mph between Beaumont and just outside of Houston on the Texas Autobahn (I-10).
