rcrose Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well, we just got back from our first long trip. We drove from Midland, TX to Alamogordo, NM and back, 778.2 miles and averaged 25.6 MPG. It actually hit 26.0 for a while until there were a bunch of stops and changes in the speed limit. There were no mechanical glitches and we really enjoyed having satellite radio for the first time. The seats are much more comfortable than those in our old Durango. So far, so good!

No Interstate this trip. We took kind of a back route through Carlsbad, up to Artesia, and over through Cloudcroft. Came back via Ruidoso and Roswell. Some of the Texas highways were posted at 75 at which it ran great but for some reason New Mexico is ridiculously slow with much of it 55 and 60. I pretty much held to the limit as I take care of computers in our Municipal Court and get to see some of the numbers speeding gets you these days. Not pretty!

If you look up boring in the dictionary, it says "see Lamesa to Midland." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more, but with a fine ride like the Edge it didn't seem so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrose Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I couldn't agree more, but with a fine ride like the Edge it didn't seem so bad. You're right. Riding in quiet comfort, listening to good satellite radio programing, and seeing that you're getting 25+ MPG isn't half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
