This trip: Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Austin, Tucson, Sedona, Anaheim, Sedona.
The car was run mostly on open road at speed, I avoided use of Eco Mode, & 7th gear, keeping Rev's between 1800-4000 for the first 1500 Mi. After that... Not so much!
Trip A: 3250.8
Avg. Fuel Econ: 22.7
Avg. Speed 60 mph
Fuel Used: 142.1 Gal.
Engine Hours: 54.2
Lifetime Revs x 10,000: 619 R's

The front clearance on this car is perfect! Never once did the front contact the ground. I've passed through construction zones, over railroad tracks and speed bumps, also over sharp down hill drives with flat landings. A great improvement over my C5! And best of all, I can still walk...
