I'll go vote now. I think your ticket price is inflated about 3x what it should be. Use the search function here: google.com
Boy I guess it's dangerous, if one needs more proof read this ...Mark

Yeah the 3.07 really helped the 3spd on the highway. I made it down with no problems. I averaged 18.95 MPG on the first tank, and don't know about the 2nd because we weren't able to top it off. truck sits with about 1/2 tank so 2.5 tanks to fla isn't bad at all.

Ditto..

Any pix from the road trip ?


Now don't go get yourself killed in a bar fight. Those FLA people are crazy about their bar fighting techniques.

most of the toll roads are the ones that go eat west in Fla
The rest of your ride has no tolls

Just got home, had a ton of fun!! It was definitely nice having someone to switch off driving with. Fuel mileage varied, anywhere between 17.7 - 23ish (but i cheated on my aerodynamics).

And sorry....no pictures

Thanks for all the comments and advise, the ol' truck didn't give me one problem :-D
