Las Vegas trip this weekend

Lady6Spd · 04-28-08, 09:41 PM

I took my son to Las Vegas to play in a paint ball tournament this past weekend. His team ended up placing 6th out of 61. Not too bad.
I checked my gas mileage coming home and I got 34.4 MPG!
271 miles 7.87 gallons = 34.4 I was surprised I had to check it again.
The only thing I've changed on the car was my new Stromung Exhaust... it must of made a difference.

Wow, I wish I had that kind of gas mileage. Oh, 6sp will help you a lot with such great gas mileage as well. Btw, very nice pics, can we see some more picture? Thanks.

Note: did you cross Texas border?

Great pics Penny! Looks like you had a fun trip. Let me know next time you're heading up that way and we'll rendezvous for a cruise down the Strip! The GS is looking better than ever.

I was wondering the speed you averaged at over the course of the trip. Nice pics too, just as I remembered it.
