Road trip

I got to drive my new 65 this week. I went from southern California to Everson Washington about 1250 miles one way. What a car ! I had a blast driving, even at 21 hours its still fun. No issues and 21 mpg. Not bad for a 600 hp car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love this thing i did look at my GPS and it logged a 142 mph max speed. gee who would have done that ? Must have been my friend in Washington ? LOL

Joe,
I really just went a few mph over the speed limit. I had a 21 hour drive and didn't want to ether get a ticket or waste time. I think my average speed was around 64 mph. In some places the speed was 50 and others it was 70. The drive goes through a large steep set of mountain roads and a flat run would likely gain 2 to 4 mpg more. I used the cruse 90% of the time and stopped quite a bit to stretch. I sure that took from the max mpg.

Someone needs a radar detector / laser diffuser.

Hell yes but I live in CA. Wouldn't want my car seized and you know the nuts here would do just that. I drove the stretch and went back the other way. I didn't see any speed traps so it was likely clean but its always a big chance doing things like that...
