Default Road Trip

Not to bad considering that when we got to our destination I had to take a couple of folks for a spirited ride. Most of the way the speed limit was 75, so set the cruise on 80 until someone would pass, then used them as an escort. Most miles I have ever seen on my miles to empty.

That’s really nice, really great MPG. First 2 years after I got my C8 I drove it like a grandma. This year I put it in race mode when I turn it on, change transmission to manual, and shift at high RPMs. My fuel economy hasn’t been great but the smile on my face is great lol
