Made my trip over the weekend. About 350 miles, each way, all interstate Highways, over 1 Large Mt. Pass, 2 Medium Mt. Passes, and 2 Small Mt. Passes. There is about 1000 pounds of bikes and gear in there, plus 2 guys at about 380 pounds. There is about 1300 miles on the new girl's odometer now.
On the way over, did 15.5 MPG, 87 octane (Union 76, Chevron and some old bike gas).
Was doing some showing off for my buddy.
On the way back, did 18.9 MPG, 87 octane (Chevron)
:tu:
I really paid attention to keeping my foot out of it, and kept it below 70 mph (Cruise control all the way).
Fun trip and the most comfortable 5 hour drive, each way, I ever spent in a vehical.
