    Today, Out of the blue after lunch, my family and I decided to go to Las Vegas to spend the christmas holiday there. , so, i filled up my tank then started out (i have a 05 pkg 6 silver).... from Orange county (Rancho Santa Margarita) to Stardust hotel,Las Vegas is 280 miles. immediately after i arrived at Vegas i filled her up again, WOW i only put in 5 gallons and its full tank already!!!!!!!! considering the terrain up and down at 4000ft elevation it still get that much MPG, i stayed with 60-70 MPH all the way. just want to share my incredible experience...so happppyyyyy!!!! :D

    After 280 miles you even considered looking at a gas station? I am saddened. LOL

    Then again, depending on the temp, topography, how much driving around in Vegas, ect., you may or may not have made it back on the same tank.

    Where did you start from?

    I remember the first time I drove Priapus from Chicagoland to Southern Indiana (on the Ohio River) to my parents' house. My dad asked how far I'd gotten before I needed to refuel. I told him that it's only 375 miles; I plan on refilling around Indy on the way home!
