Needed to go to Madison WI for work on Tuesday. Took the 9-5. Just me and the V1, on loan from a friend.
Left Monday afternoon @ 1:55pm with a near full tank. Hit some traffic in Madison as I hit the beltline on the way to the hotel. AC on for the entire trip, averaged 74 m/h, covering 271.3 miles in 3:41. Pretty darn good.
Left Madison on Tuesday afternoon @ 2:33pm and made the return trip of 276.1 miles (left the client's site, not the hotel) in 3:38 at 76 m/h. Also hit some traffic in St. Paul.
Incidentally, I very rarely exceeded 90 since increased penalties generally kick in at 25 over. There was a lot of gentle acceleration/deceleration between 70 and 90 mph.
Most people say St. Paul to Madison is a 4.5-5 hour drive. 3.6 hours is pretty damn fast.
The 9-5 cruises better than any car I've owned... Wow.
Oh yeah, I averaged 30.1 miles/gallon overall. Pretty impressive.
