Default the G5X3 and its first road trip!
Just as I expected... drove like a stock car the whole way! Was great passing cars in 6th gear with no effort!

And get this... after 345 miles I averaged 27.3 mpg @ 85 mph !!! All this done on BFG drag radials with 30 PSI in them

Once again this cam rules!
