how does "empty" figure at all in calculating mileage?

 

That's why I rent for my vacations .To many braindead people out there when you really just want to relax some jerk sits on your (out of state car.)

 

I just got 26.5 mpg for a 375 mile freeway trip (cruise control set at 72) with a little in town driving at both ends. The car has 10,000 miles on it.

My low fuel light comes on with about 2 gallons left in the tank.

Have fun!

 

Well, I'm headed for Florida on March 1st, snow or no snow. And here in Northwest Pa. that's all that's predicted for the next week. But I've been planning this trip for a long time and am driving my new Crossfire Roadster, as planned. I've made many trips to Florida over the years and am not intimidated by anything. In fact, I'm looking forward to this trip because I am driving the Crossfire. I will give a report when I get back. Yes, and I am going through West Virgina and Virgina.

 

APN28, I'll be looking for ya, we are headed out the thursday the 3rd sometime around midnight, and coming back the following wednesday. As far as the trip is concerned, it was pretty last minute but we got all our reservations done today so we are set. Going to school in Detroit during the winter is extremely depressing, so I need to see some sun as anyone from Michigan can probably agree... We are planning on driving out to vancouver, then down to california, then up route 66, this summer, so this trip will be a nice test run for a trip like that. I did a bit of research and with my lease if I get a flat and the tire needs to be replaced it is covered, (knock on wood). Of course there is the fear of getting stranded somewhere, but what the hell, you only live once. The car can be a pain in the snow, but we drove down there a couple years ago in dakota in a monsoon level rain storm, and that thing was far worse in the rain then the crossfire is in the snow. As far as speeding, I guess I will probably keep around 75-80 or so and the Valentine One turned up. I will get some pics of the car at the beach to replace the photos of my old car in my album...

Just made a 405 mile trip from Atlanta area to Jacksonville, FL...cruised between 70 and 80 mph, a nice ride. Checked mileage upon arrival: 14.33 gallons in 405 miles...that's a little over 28 mpg with an automatic and 8,000 miles. Had quite a few gawkers on the trip down, so get used to it! Have fun!

I drove from Orlando to Atlanta and back this week, averaged just over 26mpg, cruised between 75 and 85 mph. Only casualty was the drivers side driving light, hit by a large piece of truck tire.
