600 mile trip completed!

[1-3-2-4]

Well I had no doubt I would not run into any problems it passed without issue and as old as my seat was it was not that bad for the trip as I thought it was going to be. Good thing I got a wagon since I will be bringing about 50% more stuff with me back...

Only one thing.. I can't seem to get into the 300's from the tank.. I may of been able to when near the N.C. border but stuff started to be spread out like 10 miles apart and I also noticed a lot of cars on the side of the road so I decided to stop for gas.. I've only filled up twice once in NJ and again near the VA, NC border I wrote what my trip was for both..

maybe ur gas mileage sucks cause you have a heavy right foot. Wasn't it you infront of dodik and me on the way back form the sli meet? Doing 90 through ct?

[1-3-2-4]

Yes that was me but it was more like 80 driving here I never did over 85 for the fact that I wanted to see how far I could do..

I know when I had the forester I got around 303 before I filled up but I was also dealing with cross winds and for some reason It seems like I was going way out of the way.

I will report the findings on the way back.

If you stuck closer to 70 your results would change...

went i went to huffers i stuck to ~65-70 and i got 29.8 mpg very nice to hit 420 miles on the trip meter on one tank

funny thing was my last fill up I got 29mpg I forgot what I wrote on the trip it was not in the 300's but I'd guess I had about 5-8 gal left of gas but I was not about to try and wing it until I got into southern pines... I had like an extra 45 miles left.

When I get back I'm going to check the plugs and test my injectors I think my valves need adjusting too I posted on USMB about the sound on any throttle input

Miles per tank is a useless figure.

Miles per gallon is much more exact (but not totally exact).

And on the way back he had a car load of brakes and wheels so it was less as a roundtrip. :P
