[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4254547, member: 15054"] Long trip to Portland when my uncle was sick in the VA hospital there. Got home about 4:30 PM from work and wife told me he was dying so I grabbed some clothes and toothbrush and toothpaste and headed out with a paper map in my hand. I made close to the border of Idaho and Oregon before I had to pull off the side of the road for a 2 hour power nap. I did not know the shortest path and that was right at 1900 miles. When I arrived in the VA I done some math. 31 hours point A-B and averaged 75 MPH that includes the 2 hour sleep time and the quick stops for gas. That poor Corolla would only go 115 MPH. A little over 2300 miles. Do not want to do that ever again. Only 6 or 7 stops for fuel though and all were less than 10 minutes. That uncle raced NASCAR and we loved seeing how far we could go and what average MPH we could get. MY best MPH average was to my cousins place in Weleetka from Yukon at 115 miles. I made it in 45 minutes. Do that math. 1985 V65 Magna slightly tweaked on :) [/QUOTE]
