Planman's 2001 XC Log V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Planman on  Thu Dec 21 03:54 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Did a 700 mile roundtrip yesterday from Ohio to the snow belt region north of Grand Rapids, Michigan, over to Ann Arbor and back. Temperature range was from 3 degrees to 23 degrees. Road conditions were clear to icy/slush on pavement to snow covered dirt roads.

Tires: Those Pirelli Scorpions felt like snow tires on the snow-covered dirt roads. Excellent traction.

Mileage: Trip computer read 23.2 MPG, using 89 Octane fuel. Car now has 2800 miles on it.

Accidents: Only one was a Jeep flipped over on a bridge on I69 north of Fort Wayne. I'm still suspcicious about SUV center-of-gravity and its affect on rollovers!

Otherwise between the comfortable seats and awesome stereo and the Navigation system having pinpoint accuracy, it was a pleasure.
