first road trip done!

Got the 02' out fitted with the wheelchair lift, new shocks etc. We went on a short weekend trip to San Antonio, about 340 mile round trip. According to the trip meter it got 14.8 mpg and I was using the cruise at 75mph. Damn, why did I wait so long to get one of these? On the way home I was cruising pretty fast, the V-10 was just eating the road up leisurely and MPG was showing 13 mpg.
I think the next mod will be a call to 5 Star. Next time i go out through West Texas on a trip that 95mph cutoff is going to get irritating.
