Looking at the "average" speed...I think that's pretty good over a 5.5 hour run.

Much of that was in traffic on I-75 and Florida's Turnpike between Tifton, GA and West Palm Beach, FL There were a few tripple digit sprints in that run..."shaking the tail off of the kite" if you know what I mean.

600 hp?

What do you guys get in city? I seem to average 16, but it feels like at any one moment, with the A/C on, 13 mpg.
