"SS" Road trip

I went on a "road trip" this weekend and was very impressed with the SS. This car is really easy to get lost with the speed. Glad they had a cruise control..set it at 72 and away we went. Going to my destination 27.9 mpg and coming home tonight got 28.9 mpg at the same speed. Coming up a huge hill on my route the SS had no problem keeping the speed up, just a constant 72 mpg. The ride is very smooth! It rides so much better than my '07 did. I have to get use to the XM radio and the OnStar system.

] .......just a constant 72 mpg. ] I wish..it should have been a constant 72 mph.



BTW how can you own a PT and a HHR at the same time ? It's not that hard, the HHR daily driver and PT is for car shows for now!!

I'll be leaving tomorrow for my second long trip in the SS. Heading to Norfolk Virginia. I'm hoping it goes as well as my trip to Pittsburgh last month.

You have it backwards! the PT should be your daily driver & the HHR for car shows
