for those who are planning to participate in this we will be meeting at the shell station on hwy 49 across from UNCC at 10 am Sunday. Look for my white Subaru I will have maps and directions. Bring money for fuel and munchies since you will be in your car foe a couple hours. A navigator would be a huge help as well.

here are the folks who said they would participate

1. Phil 1988 Subaru RX turbo EPA 19-23 Avg 20
2. Tom 1991 Nissan 240sx (man) 19-26 avg 22.5
3. Josh 2009 Honda Fit EPA 27-33 Avg 27
4.Chad 1998 Dodge Neon EPA 29-41 AVG 35

If only you guys were a little further north...

I would've loved to see what the VX could do against the HF.

thank you Speedoholic for helping out on this

it was just two that headed off but it was a beautiful drive and the results are... After driving 115.2 miles

Josh (Speeoholic) managed to burn just 2.091 gallons of fuel in his 2009 Honda Fit for 55.0933mpg or 204% of EPA rating


Phil in his 1988 subaru RX burned 3.1 gallons of fuel for 37.161mpg or 186% of EPA rating

only two made this run which was a bit of a disappointment but over all it was a success and I will start the planning for a spring/early summer event
