Just a little trip
Not bad fuel mileage considering the drive. Although honestly, I'd preferred to have backed off and enjoyed the trip a bit more.

Definitely not bad considering you averaged 75mph, which means you were hauling *** pretty much. The highest I've ever averaged was 77mph in my car over 100+ miles, and I was doing well over 77 most of the time.

You're lucky - I average a little over 26 on a good trip. Which I will be doing at the end of the month; off to the Outer Banks for a week to survey the damage from Irene and rest up from an awful busy season here.

I'm not sure I should admit, but about 25 miles was 2 lane and another 40 was 4 lane, but not Interstate. The rest was Interstate. 
The average was actually 76 when I pulled off, but two traffic lights later at my destination it had dropped a hair. I was surprised it got the mileage it did.
Tommy, I hope you have a good trip, and I hope there isn't any significant damage that is relevant to you, at least.

Thanks. It's my parents' condo; I don't think there was much damage, but it'll be good to check it out anyway, as it's right on the beach.
Ready to book weekly reservations for next summer, though. Don't wait too long!
It's always a good trip, love using the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
