1235.4 door to door and 20.1 mpg. Miles per gallon would be better but had to keep up with KWB and Double-D while caravaning from Utah.

Thumbs up Wow......

I'm impressed I usually don't check miles and m.p.g. that often but always set my trip o. before I leave anywhere....Have a Jet Program installed in my the GQ, here's the facts 800.1 total miles traveled (the AVI to & from home-trip to Lake Havasu-3 trips into downtown Laughlin) 19.6 mpg....
I amazed simply because of my lead right foot, 80 m.p.h. with a few jumps turning the TC off but I guess averaging with caravans all weekend and coming home with a front fascia sticking out the back of the bed at 65 m.p.h. it averaged nicely...

Cannot wait for the first Utah run that Deena is planning, I hope.

I averaged 16.9 MPG on the way back home cruising about 75 MPH.

I wonder if the Magnacharger had an effect on the mileage? And by the way, Thumper was following me so I kept my foot out of it

I just got back from the car wash and the attendant came up to me and asked "is that a prototype vehicle?" I told him that it wasn't, but it was a limited production vehicle...he said: "don't see to many of them around here". Any, GO1FAST has been washed and put back in the garage and covered just waiting for spring (or another SSR run), to emerge from hibernation.
