Another great roadtrip. I made it to St. Pete on one tank of gas. It took 6 hours. Will high amount of road driving increase my overall MPG?

Coming back from St. Pete, I got behind a this Suburban and this Caddy. They did nothing less that 100 mph. Wow it was a great drive up through Florida and Georgia.
Car handles great.

Whenever I hit the road, I look for maximas. Saw some but I know they were not anyone on here. I pulled out of FL little bit after 10:00 got to Adel, GA, a little bit before 1:30. Adel is about 2 1/2 hours south of Atlanta. I was on a mission

So how did you like St Pete so far? Got any chance to go around? Beach? Club?

From what I saw, I loved. I will have to go back down there to really have fun. I drove around the city. Went out to the Clearwater beach, hmmm, women, D'OH. But I will be back down there. Plus I had a lot of fun in Ybor City.

Ybor City, Clr Water Beach

Yep!!! At least tried to make your trip worth. There're few Max here with heavy or at least moderate mods...mostly are Hundos. Sometime, street races take place at Columbus Dr and other around the town...
But anyway, Ybor City is the best!!!

I did see a lot of buzzing hondas. I had lunch everytime I was on 275. I will be back, just for Ybor City, Clearwater, too. Not to mention some other things.

I love that drive out of Tampa/St. Pete on 75, it's the nicest highway in Florida. Almost empty and the scenery is really good. Very few also.

I-75 is good to speed but really scary at night especially late night cuz there are lots of huge trucks travel across state. But travel with them are safe from olice:
