How far have you gone?
What is the longest distance you have driven in your C4? From where to where?
I'll start: Houston to my home near Grand Rapids, MI. 1,300 miles.

2021 C6 of the Year Winner - Unmodified
Just got back this last Monday from a trip to Bowling Green. Put on about 2200 miles, the ole girl averaged around 24mpg, not bad when you consider she had 101,000 miles when we started. I'd do it again tomorrow.

I drove from Savannah GA to Richmond VA, seven hours. She had 101,000 miles on her clock. I averaged 26 mpg. I don't know what the total gas bill was and I don't wanna know. (Oops! Honeymoon's over, gotta go relpace the passenger side window motor. Now I'm a real C4 owner!)

Not very. Back and forth to LACR a couple times-Maybe 100 miles round trip. May take a long cruise up the coast tomorrow, see how that goes.
I had planned on having the 406 in and driving it to the CF cruise-in but it didn't happen. Maybe next year.

I picked up my C4 in Orlando, FL and drove it back to Texas where I was living. That was a 1,070 trip. Then I have gone to Bowling Green a couple of times. Once during the 50th Kick Off, then for the 50th Anniversary. That was a 1,434 round trip both times. It was a a great ride.
