Just completed my 600-mile round trip from NJ to VA. Once again, the SS drove like a champ. I averaged around 30.5 MPG. The sweet spot was 55-60 MPH, where I was averaging amost 34 MPG. The fuel efficiency plummeted when I got up into the 70-75 MPH range.

Unfortunately the speed limit was 55 MPH along most of Route 13 on the DelMarVa penninsula, and there were cops everywhere.
