About LinkBacksHey all
Just finished up the math on a 2280 mile road trip
20.3MPG for entire trip, mostly interstates with some in towns.
Thats good for me and I'm happy with it-the way I drive!
turned 5K miles on way home.

That sounds pretty decent for gas mileage on an AWD. You didn't say, but I hope it was a fun trip!

I'm about to go 2800+ to CO and back at the end of the month and into June... I'm guessing I'll do almost as well with the MSRT8.
Still in love with my first wife, and first car ('68 Charger)... Still have the wife!

I run 5/10 over posted on most interstates. Keep it legal in small towns. Still like to blast a shot of WOT getting on in clear spots

I feel its worth it. @.$.20 a gallon and even 200 gallons, comes out to $40 bucks more than 87 oct. Originally Posted by NOTPAID4MSRT8
