road trip
Took a road trip last weekend and I thought I'd share my trip information. We drove 210 miles one way, took us three hours and twenty minutes an average speed of 62mph at 16 mpg. I thought this was pretty good considering how heavy the truck is and how heavy my right foot is. What do you guys think?

That's pretty good. When I go on road trips in the 07 R63 (with NA 6.2 V8) I calculate it at the pump and get 17mpg all freeway driving.
