Road Trip to WI

I recently took my '08 TL Type-S on a road trip from Las Vegas to Northern WI. Total mileage was 4,498 miles, and I had an overall trip mpg of 29. The highest I got according the trip computer was 34 mpg. I was amazed and very impressed at the mileage. The TL ran flawless. I averaged about 1100 miles each day (2 days driving each way) and never got tired.

Dang not too bad at all! The TL is one hell of a road cruiser when it comes to long trips, that's for sure.

Nice......I love long road trips. It's just something about being on the open road. A sense of freedom I guess. Hope you had a good trip.

I drove up to NE WI, about 2 hours north of Green Bay. That is where I grew up. The car was awesome the entire trip.
