Trips from Philly to northern New Hampshire over Christmas week 99, 00 and 02. In 99 and 00 we put up the bars with the ski racks to carry 2 pair of cross country skis. Didn't get 30 on the highway, car was new in 99, not very old in 00, and we had some major traffic crawls on the 00 trip.
Last year, we didn't take our old skis, no crossbars, got close to 35.
Car is manual but not AERO. Yes, I know car is now broken in and last year's trip was incredibly traffic free, but still, they make a big difference on the highway (not to mention neglecting to lock the ski rack when we started for home the first time, hearing the clatter and seeing the skis bouncing on US 302 behind me! Oops!)
