Skyline Drive?
Hey everyone, I was wondering who would be interested in making a drive along Skyline Drive in the mountains of Virginia? It's an AWESOME road and October is a fantastic time for it!

Aha. Now it makes sense!

When I read the thread title, I pictured this:

Depends on your standards. We did the whole Blue Ridge, Cherohale Skyway and the Tail of dragon on veterans day week in Prius C and managed in low 50s. While on the ridge you can manage decent MPG but extended climbs and interstate on the way back takes toll
