Drove to Cinci Ohio - tested out new trip monitor

drove from SC to Cinci Ohio for a family gathering !. 1500 miles,
even thru the mountains, averaged 28.6mpg, but had one stretch(250 miles of 30 mpg) - averaged 70 mph( -usually set the cruise at 77.

bought a Foxwell trip monitor, from Maxspeed, - originally got it to use for checking codes and clearing the CEL, and to monitor the O2 sensors etc to see wha the heck is going on- found out if you leave it hooked up, it constantly records all engine data - reads out average speed, max speed, etc - pretty cool.

- drove thru LOTS of rain on the way back thru Kentucky , Tenn and NC

but the car performed flawlessly, - the new front tires were awesome in the rain!:dance:

The new hard top makes the trip much more quiet vs rag top - really a quiet ride at 75 with a hard top on - but 75 today here in SC so the hard top will be coming off soon!!!!
