My first trip in the car.

Over the weekend I did a 625 mile round trip towing a 500lb load. Also had about 200lbs in the car besides my big self.

Half interstate, half mountain two-lane, the car's trip computer shows:

Avg speed 57mph (interstate driven at 75 80mph)

Avg gas mileage 23.5mpg

Exxon 92
Mobil 1 10W30
RE730s 33psi f, 34psi r. (Not good on gravel inclines!)

The car ran like a top but see my post re: turbo oil return line.
