1 Day and 810miles Later

Made the trip from Myrtle Beach to Marblehead, Ohio in one day yesterday. I covered over 810 miles in one day, only stopping for gas and two very short meal breaks. According to the trip computer we averaged 72.4 MPH for the entire trip and 27.1 MPG. Ran between 75 and 95MPH all the way through NC, VA, and WV then slowed down to at steady 70MPH in good old Ohio. The car was flawless in every way and the Sport Seats are soooo comfortable.

Nothing beats all-day drives! There's something about spending the whole day on the road.. My longest cruise is just over 1000 miles in a day. I went from PA to Orlando in a day.


Glad everything worked out and you didn't have any problems on the drive back

That's good to hear about the sport seats and no problems. I will be driving from Colorado Springs, CO to San Antonio, TX a few weeks after I pick mine up. It's around 950 miles. I can't wait to spend some quality time with her. :biggrin:

Sweet. My best one-day is 650 miles from Irvine, CA to Merced, CA, to Santa Cruz, to Walnut Creek.
Something about open windows, awesome music, and a clear day.

Good ol' NC. Is it me or can you tell when you leave SC and hit NC, the roads just feel better.
