Default Re: Hit 1000 miles today...

I just got back from my first road trip with my Jasper Pearle on the other side of the country. My hubby had his class reunion up in Coulee Dam (we live in the Yakima Valley) so this trip was partly freeway, partly 2 lane highway over mostly rolling hills but with a few steep climbs/descents. Overall for the trip I got 37.9 mpg! Oh, there was also a bunch of local driving, too. Total miles for the trip was just about 380 ...and I still show I can go 100+ miles on the tank! YIPPEE! Total on the car is just over 800 miles. OH, ran the AC all the time because the temp was in the 90's most of the time!

We did the trip up without any stopping and the ECO was showing 40 mpg when we arrived. We also got some interesting looks and at least 1 thumbs-up in the motel parking lot.

Because the car is so quiet I am finding I need to look behind me really carefully as people are not aware the car is about to move!
