Default I got 25 mpg...

Took my 93 on the 1st road trip ever under my ownership. Had to run to Allentown, Pa from NY to clear out my storage unit because they were tearing down the building. $100 gets you 27 gallons of gas here. Total trip was lets say 220 miles roundtrip. I cant break it down any further than that because I was going like 62mph there and it was mostly downhill in Pennsylvania and like 70 coming back uphill into New Jersey.

Suprisingly enough, the 350 has enough ***** to move the car at a nice clip especially uphills. I really could use cruise control but why complain. I am not comfortable doing more than 70mph until I replace the shocks to prevent erratic wheel hop.

But that was a great exercise, especially to see how the AC worked in normal vs. maximum modes when there is an abundance of air at highway speeds crowding the condenser.

Now to do it again in the G Van.
