Back from the long trip...
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years.
Snow, slush, head wind, bad traffic on trip to family reunion (22.09mpg worst, 22.17mpg best).
Tail wind, sunshine, no traffic, and 80 degrees upon return to San Angelo (24.92mpg worst, 26.04mpg best).
No problems with XM radio antenna dash mount, some static through Kansas City.
Woke up on first leg of trip to snow and slush, but passed a few cars and even with Michelin Energy's the car did well. If I do a real winter I'll have to get some real winter tires.
Tranny seemed a little tired towards the end.

I did a 2200+ mile round trip, got 27-28 mpg.
I took a 2200+ mile road trip over the holidays. I averaged 28.1mpg on the way down... and 27.4mpg on the way up according to the trip computer. I'm very pleased with the performance! Currently running 5W-30
