Awesome Road Trip.

I just completed a 990 mile road trip from Raleigh NC to Hampton NH.

The trip took a total of 27 hours with 24 of that being straight road time. At a speed of between 55 and 60 I averaged out at 40mph for the trip. Gas mileage averaged 21.89 mpg.

The 20R ran like a champ with no overheating or mechanical issues. Not bad for a 35 year old vehicle.

Keep in mind my vehicle is a 16' with no bathroom or holding tanks. Total weight with me 4200 lbs. This explains the high gas mileage. I love my Toy. :)

Awesome. Were there any hills to deal with?

Plenty in PA. On the return trip I left the interstates and traveled secondary roads. 881 miles nonstop except for gas and 3 hours of sleep. Still maintained 21-22 mpg. for the trip. Driveline was fine the whole way home. Synthetics work really well in older vehicles.
