Default Back from trip to Texas....

covered 2400 miles in the new 08, it has 6100 on it total now, and got an overall average of 26.1 mpg and average speed of 63 mph. Gainesville, FL to Houston, then to Dallas/Ft. worth then over through Shreveport and Meridien MS to Birmingham AL then back to G-ville. Car was PERFECT. Very happy with purchase.
A few pics...
Ready to head out, 0430 hours, under 30 dgrees, (damn cold for my native florida blood)

Small world.

It was good to see you, bro. I see that you also conveniently left out the 2000 miles we went Fri-Sun.

BTW...your car is nice.
