That link is my blog entry with details of the trip.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

This summer I drove from Harrisburg, PA to Pittsburgh, PA way too many times. The trip is just over 200 miles. The interesting part is that each time I only used up 6 gallons of gas while driving between 60-80 mph. That converts to 33mph!!!! Overall, on a highway I have about a 600 mile range with a full tank of gas! All of this in a 96 850 GLT
