I think it's funny how Syracuse, or anything about NYC for that matter, is considered 'up state NY'. I don't consider it upstate until you get into the adk.

23 mpg is pretty good. I usually see between 18-19 highway at 70-72 mph. Only difference is the 4wd.

It's also illegal to pump your own gas in NJ. NJ is whacked.

Lol yea that's how I was raised saying it anything above DC I always say upstate lol. The 23 was all flat land before I went thru the mountains now its prolly 20-21 barely any cops but a lot of construction on pa turnpike made it in about 9hrs tho
