. . . North to South. . . obviously downhill.

70 mph around here could get you run down!!!

I quit trying to figure out my mileage as everything is in liters here, but before I left the States, I was getting 27 highway/23 city mixed. I'm certain my mileage now is more closer to the upper teens. Constant 100+ mph speeds will do that.

Brent, I'm sure the top down is why you're mileage is lower.

Side Note: I managed 155 mph with the top down a couple of weeks ago. . . slight downhill grade. woohoo!!
