    You aren't familiar with C5/C6's amazing highway mileage, are you?

    right now we are in mryland, left @ 12 last night and got caught in an accident on 85 around braselton...stuck for about one hour there......so at about 1am are trip finally started.. we have already stopped 4 times ( dammit ) 2 cars... 3 dudes, 3 chics.....****ing girls...you know, " i have to use the bathroom" ....

    gas so far : i had half a tank and topped it off at the mall of ga , that was 35 bucks....filled up again nc line va.... 53 bucks...total of 88 + the half a tank ill add 20 bucks...thats a total of about $108 or so and so far 712 miles. friendly cluste is telling me we are averaging 26.3 mpg...... see if it can hit 27 mpg. not bad for a v8.....i think...8 hours and 30 ninutes..... vette and a g35....according to mapquest this is a 14 hour drive ..we got about 240 more miles.. we are pushing for under 3 more hours......we are trying to make in 10 or 11 hours....

    That's not too bad. Pretty much where my Mustang falls at in terms of highway miles. Be safe.

    WE GOT 2 IN OHIO and yes Julio, thats nice fuel economy for a V-8 but if u took that same trip in a CRX u would be amazed... since I drove from Marietta, GA to Lexington, KY on 3/4 tank then refueled, went from there to Wheeling, WV, got 1 more tank of gas then drove from there to Carlstadt, NJ so at that time, when gas was 3.80 or so, I spent roughly 102 dollars and averaged 44.7 mpg
