Enjoy the warm weather MD. Looking forward to any Florida photos in the near future. I know the scenery may be a little different than the mountain house, but I am sure you will come up with something great.

Thanks, S...the 6 spd C5s have 1-4th gear, like "normal", with 5th slightly over driven, and 6th is way over driven; thus, the loafing rpms at any speed. That initial pic of the mpg/dash, of 33+ was about 2 hrs into the trip, and was on that inital first tank. The 29.6 mpg shot was taken near the end of the trip, almost 800 miles later, and is cumulative for the entire trip, not having re-set the "Avg mpg" for the entire trip!
Amazing road trip car: holds 2 sets of clubs, soft luggage for 2, and rolls down the road like an F16...noisey, and warm inside, but a fun azz car. BR, mD
