I95 Trip report -- 2356 miles

[BuddyS]

Just to add some data and opinions to the group...

I just took a weeklong trip from SWFL to the Washington DC area. 2356.2 miles total. I started with a full tank and burned 65.149 gallons for a true MPG score of 36.16. The instrument cluster was a bit optimistic showing 38.3mpg.

85% of the driving was done around 75-80mph. Best MPGs came around the DC area where surface road and beltway speeds were more limited to about 50-60mph -- I saw about 42mpg true on that part of the trip. The truck was rock-steady at every turn. The stereo was just fine for book-on-tape listening and a few hours of my old-man music (mostly Paul Simon) at normal volumes. There was a bit of wind noise from time to time, and I noticed that sometimes when the auto AC cycled on or off it would effect the noise road noise slightly. But was never enough to bother me, and in fact after a few miles it didn't even register.

I'm generally happy with the comfort of the seats but I will admit that toward the end of the trip I was slightly missing the amazing seats from my Volvo. Doggo registered zero complaints from the back seat.

All in all a great road-tripper. Happy motoring!

The stock speakers aren’t terrible. They are fine for talk radio and some music. Obviously autophiles won’t like them but I’ve heard worse stock speakers.
