First road trip w/4.30 geared auto
What is up brotherens?
Just finished a trip from Bon Air, VA to Duck, N.C. Averaged 20.7 mpg door to door. I guess that's not bad.

That's pretty good considering. I have to keep my stock gear though. Gas is killing me at $60 a week.

How fast were you going most of the time? Also where were your RPMS?

Leaving Richmond on 64 east to 664 anywhere from 65 to 80mph. Then once in N.C. 45 to 60mph. RPM's at 80mph 3,100 (indicated).

That's horrible to me... I mean, I know it's because you have the 4.30s and it's not like you're gonna get much better... I just can't stand not being able to get 23-25+ on strict highway driving..
