Default Road trip.

I just finished a 1,100 mile round trip to S. Carolina and back. Loved every minute of it. Averaged 30 mpg. There's nothing like dropping down into second gear at 55mph to pass a car (or a whole line of cars)!

Cool, 2nd is the most fun gear. Amazing how long 1st gear is!

Congrats on a good trip and great MPG's too. Can't wait to take one in mine. Did you have any issues with your car along the way?
