Recent Freeway / Highway Runs

radix023 · 06-06-2017, 01:25 PM

I just got my account, so I have two to relate:

1) I drove about 500 miles to my parents' over Memorial Day weekend for their 50th wedding annniversary bash. I thought ahead of using the Costco in Lexington to fuel up. I topped off at Barrett Parkway and headed out. Mileage from Costco pump to Costco pump was 357 and with the cruise set at 5mph over the speed limit (from a low of 60mph in Knox County to a high of 75mph) I clocked 29.14 mpg. I am very happy with that.

2) The first weekend of June I drove down to Augusta and back. On the way down Waze had me get off I-20 and on state road 441. This was my first run on two lane rural highways with the yellow dash system. My first drivers license was in WV, so I know all about the dash system. The 370z was sublime at this. Dropping to 3rd from 6th, passes were near instant and effortless (why yes I do have the 6MT). By the time I got moved to 278 then back to I-20, I had missed 45 minutes of stop and go misery due to construction and an accident and racked up 5 passes. Whee.

PS
I do love Waze.
