whats the minimum on the freeway portion?
I didn't see a minimum, if I remember right. I'd have to check ORC for the legal, but it is mostly downhill. I am thinkimg EOC won't work, though. Probably best to stay in second or third gear, and make sure you accelerate. I think that's the law...lol

I hope it's clear I am kidding! I think it is a decent over all route. Just enjoying the car, mileage was above highway for me. So more efficient vehicles and more heavily modified cars should have an easy time, too.

I have to get a few things done before The 20th! CAI, rear valance, and special air dams for the trip. That kill switch idea really has me thinking, too.
