300 miles, 3/4 tank, 5 hrs @ 64 mph avg.

[-Ray-]

What's the mileage?

All the way through. I made it at about 24-26 mpg for the whole trip, and that was cruising between 72-78. Very impressed honestly. Now when I get back to NJ my tranny pan will be in lol. I am Not counting the last 45 minutes, someone thought their car was tougher than a guardrail...flipped their car onto its side.

First half was 24.6 mpg on the dic. Gotta pull the receipt and do math in the morning. To tired right now haha.

Where abouts in Michigan you going? I'm sure some of us could advise good spots to eat or things to see if you have time. Also, check out gasbuddy's app if you have a smartphone. Gas can vary by 10-15cents a gallon, sometimes more, within a few miles.

In Chesterfield. My wife is actually from here, but im all ears when it comes to food!

For a 4000lb car with a 6.0L V8? Yah, pretty small. You only have 16 gallons before the gas light comes on. The TBSS has a 22 gal tank.

What about a 4400LBS with a supercharged 6.2L V8? Because the CTS-V has a smaller tank than we do...

Bad Brad's BBQ might be an option, I've heard it's good. If you're around 696/94 area (highways) There's a place called Lazybone's Smokehouse which is awesome. I don't know of many places aside from Brad's that's up that way though.

If you get down to the St. Clair Shores area there's a lot of good places, New York Deli at 10mile and Little Mack... REALLY good Ruebens.

Check out yelp.com for some local places, I'm sure you'll find some good stuff.

They have a triple decker, corned beef/pastrami but you can get it grilled with 'kraut. The 'strami is sometimes fatty though, good flavor but not everyone likes it that way.
