Arrived this morning. Wagon averaged 22-23 MPG. Not a single mechanical issue. Despite several people I know, who don't know cars, judging a book by it's cover. You're driving "THAT" to Florida? You sure it's gonna make it? Very Happy I only took 1 other pic on the road. I'll post it after.

Wow, with a loaded wagon too.  I don't think I ever did that good with an empty one!

Sounds like Pricess Leia in Star Wars...."You cam in that?  You are braver than I thought!"

I get the same thing all the time, especially when I was rocking Grimace.  Or when I came to WF '10.  Car sat in the driveway with a leaky axle seal for almost 2 years.  Swapped it out, had the fuel pump die the next day 2 blocks from home (Well not totally give out, I limped home), fixed it at 100 miles later ran 3500 miles up in 9 days. No problems

Glad you and your family made it down safely. When my wife and I do our Florida trip each fall and spring, we get close to 24mpg, but we never have hauled as much stuff as you did!
