Cool 26 MPG on vacation

Just got back from my 1300 mile California vacation in my car. I drove from Mira Loma to Modesto to Lake Almanor. If you ever get the chance to drive Feather River Highway (HWY 70) I think it is a must drive for any car guy. The car did amazing & averaged 26 mpg at an average speed of 70 mph.

Thanks for the road-tune that makes this car a blast to drive on the street.

I am not a picture taker at all. I will see if I can find pictures that my family took.

Lake Almanor is a nice place to relax. My uncle & aunt own a resort on the lake.

Very nice. The previous owner to my car said he got about 25 mpg taking a trip up the coast. I havent seen these types of numbers yet but i also havent taken a long trip in it yet haha. Its good to know what I can expect now.
