Default 1000 miles in two days who huuh

So I did a little drive from LA - AL, to Santee SC, to visit a friend and camp out, took the baby vice the bike did not want to get wet and would have 34 miles from home, but to the important part love the car, average speed about 75 MPH got between 28 MPG going and 29 MPG coming back. awesome. Bye the way satelite radio is nice to have on trips. Jjust thouht I would share a nice little road trip flying solo as well, just a cooler in the passenger seat. Yes it had booze but that was for when I got to the camp site. It was a yager night with beer. Fire boooze good friends, and the midnight munchies then it was off to bed.

Sounds like you had a really good time. Can't beat a road trip in a Vette.

I've done Houston to KC several times (750 miles) with 60+ mph average (1, 5-10min stop in the middle) ..so 3300/72 IS possible - but maybe painful.
