Hey all, so I'm planning on driving my baby from LA to Vegas this weekend. I didn't think anything of it cause shes been running fine, but my friend's concern (13 year old car, random mishaps, etc.) got me all paranoid.
The longest ive driven was from from LA to the Bay (about 360 miles) 3 years ago. Nowadays the longest she's gone is LA to Riverside (60 miles). Is there anything I should check out before taking my car on a 5+ hr (traffic) drive? Besides tires/oil/coolant. I don't want to break down somewhere in Death Valley, miles away from a casino! |

It's not lying to you. You get WAY better mileage on the highway than in constant stop and go traffic. I can go a good 75 - 100 miles on straight highway once my gas light has come on, probably more if I chanced it... I know on that trip back up to Portland up 101 (VERY mountainous, curvy roads) we got close to 500 miles on a tank. Granted that's an ST, but it was pretty amazing considering all the mountains.
