Congrats on the good trip. Be well, and let us know how it went on the way home. I know what you mean. I really like my truck at highway speads and a good trip. That stiff suspension really eats up the road and 70 or 70+. Mercy, can't wait to pull the TT to AZ this comming early summer.

Awesome, I really want to take a road trip with my truck and I will soon. I wanted to cruise the California coast on Hwy 101. Start from the top, travel down to the bottom and return home.
Have a blast returning home as well!

thanks guy's..I half to admit when I started out in NH my mpg was around 18 till I got to around Virginia then it went up..it was around 20 degrees in NH and I was full of winter blend..down here the fuel was a little better and I use 18 oz of DK... I drove with the cruse set at 72.and yes all figured out by hand. I was so proud of the girl I'm taking her in today have her washed and waxed in side and out..
tenn...my kids cant wait to ride that coaster...they hear its a blast and it does look it too...

Hopefully the lines will be as short as they were at Universal on Sat. Longest line we waited in was 20 minutes. Hopefully you are enjoying the weather here. I know this cold front has me shivering tonight (50's) LOL. Just make sure you dont drive to far north on this Florida diesel or you might have some gelling problems. Have a safe trip.
