Just did a round trip from Harrisburg, PA to Raleigh, NC.
837 miles in 12 hours over a 36 hour period.
Made the 396 mile trip down to my friend's house on Sunday morning in 5 hours and 42 minutes. 6 hours flat if you count the gas/pee/food stop. Google maps told me it would take 6:58. Ha!
Trip home took a little longer because I hit the DC area around 5PM. Decided to pull off for dinner while I was stuck in lapped traffic.

Really, this car is a delight at cruising speeds on the highway.
Is it as plush as my wife's Mercedes? Hell no. But it's a lot more fun.

Mileage seems to suffer a bit when you're cruising over 3,000 RPM, and I made several visits to "the danger zone". All in all, I don't think 25mpg is horrible for this kind of car.

Danger zone.

Yup, going to drive from Edmonton to Seattle in August, which is 1300 km (810 miles) one way. Should be fun!

On my highway trips, I'm lucky to hit 20mpg. My city is 16mpg. Then again, I don't like to drop below 4k RPM...ever.

Haven't even picked her up yet and we have a week long trip to NE planned in October. I will have a clear bra or equivelent on in the next couple of weeks though.
