3200 flawless miles in 9 days
Just got home from a great road trip in our '07 coupe with 60K miles on it. Longest driving leg was 740 miles and they were comfortable and (except for the thunderstorms and torrential downpours outside of Salt Lake City), weather was generally great! Oh, well except for the foggy and rainy morning in the Grand Canyon!)
This is our 2nd long trip in this C6 (first one was during the 2009 NCC, where we covered 6,240 miles in 2 weeks). The C6 is a GREAT and comfortable car for long trips and never let anyone tell you otherwise!
Anyway, here's a shot Standin' On A Corner In Winslow Arizona"
And one in Bryce Canyon:
Grand Canyon:
I LOVE my C6

I just totaled up my figures and came up with 28 MPG average for the trip
Starting mileage - 59,324
Ending mileage - 62,140
Total mileage - 2,816 (ok, I was wrong in the thread title!
)total gallons used - 101.131 (based on receipts)
Average MPG - 27.845
(guess my GS front end conversion didn't kill my mileage as much as I first thought!)
