Well, the turbo sho completed its first road trip, 550 KM one way to a cabin that we rent every year. i averaged about 150-160 km/h (100mph) and i ended up making it from the cabin to my house on ONE tank of gas... and my AC was on the whole trip. i ******* love this car!

You should easily make it that far on a tank. When I drove to BC I was able to go 700+ kms on a tank, and that was cruising at around 150-160 as well.

Just sayin' it takes the same amount of horsepower to cruise at 150 regardless of whether it's turboed or not :p

You better go to the convention next year, btw. Both my projects should be done by then, we're going. Only a 37 or so hour trip if we stick to the limit.
