Thanksgiving and the Vette

CHASZ51 · 11-23-2006, 04:11 PM

Took a lil 60 mile round trip today with my Vette, went to Lutz for dinner.

Spotted five C5's, four were black, and one red, also a C4 and a C3 , got three waves out of the whole lot. My avg milage was 26.3mpg with a mix of highway and city

Could not ask for a better day to drive the Vette!

Sounds like a great drive

It's always nice when you get a

from another vette!

The traffic was great, a good 60% less than normal.

This was my 2nd highway trip with the Vette, the first trip was the breakfast meet on Oct28. In town i drive in 3rd, but forgot and drove all the way to Brandon in 3rd gear, my avg mileage was 16mpg. Today i drove in D and got over 26mpg, hard to belive the diff from 3rd and D.

So far the car drives like a dream!

Automatic overdrive gearing helps a ton.

Darn, wish I had gotten out today...... Just couldn't leave the wife in the kitched cooking dinner though........ She would have told me to stop in at McDonald's for MY dinner tonight.....

I'll bet tomorrow is going to be pretty crowded on the roads. Especially around any shopping malls.
