jamal Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 My car has done Missoula to LA 5 times now. Bike+skis on the roof, full of my stuff, crusing at 80+. I got about 23 mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 According to Mapquest, that's 1100 miles, so you averaged around 65 including stops, not bad.:cool: That's about what I averaged on my last trip. Soobies are real road-warriors...at least from what I've seen, they take to long trips pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I've been around the block a couple of times in my 83 Brat and 89 xt6. Both good cruisers, but one is definitely faster than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
