    :eek::eek::cool::p Yep! Just got back from a two week trip to AZ; the bulk of the miles happened on the first two and last two days.

    1,300 miles going south / 50.5 mpg / 65 mph average speed, in normal mode, A/C on 75% of the time crusing down Hwy. 95.

    1,253 miles coming north / 49.5 mpg / 52 mph av. speed (?) in ECO mode w/ A/C on 100% of the time crusing Hwy. 93, I-15 & I-84 w/ the last 100 miles on mountainous roads, thru river canyons w/ 15 mi. per hour curves, etc. (loved it!).

    The bulk of the remaining miles were from driving around Buckeye & Phoenix, AZ at temps. from 106 - 115 degrees!

    2,854 total trip miles / 49 mpg / 55 mph w/ A/C on for all but 5 hours or so. Click on link below to see accident photos, plus.

    Very sorry to see your accident pictures. Looks like a new bumper cover might take care of it though. Nice Damn!

    I'm thinking of driving mine to Washington, DC this winter. That's about 700 miles one way. Did yours do alright? How often did you stop?
