Something is up with that seat. I just finished solo sheathing a garage and the four hours home in my Volvo seat was pure therapy bliss for my aching back.
Safe travels Firefox, pm me for toll money if applicable

Perhaps it's good nobody needed me to haul any large parts from the South East. My wagon was full with a Mercedes wagon tailgate, hydraulic log splitter, sewing machine and table, and my usual containers of food, clothes, bedding, etc.
Gas mileage reported by the dashboard between NH and central PA was 26.8 mpg, and in the hills between central PA and western NC was 25.1 mpg. I really tried to go easy on the gas, slowing up hills instead of downshifting into 3rd. I'm not thrilled by these numbers, but I was close to my lifetime max 500 miles per tank, so maybe 27 mpg highway is acceptable.
