Default 1700mile trip Report

Hey all.
I took the Magnum on a college visit last weekend. NW Ohio to Myrtle Beach and return.
4 people and all I figure about 5400lbs gross. Before trip I had removed rear cans and replaced with stainless pipe
and tips. Increased tire pressure to 34lbs allround. Changed ti Mobil1 5w20 -1st oil change at 2620miles.
I know its early but wanted to make change to Mobil 1. Added a new Mopar air filter.
It was a very nice drive even if the weather was cold,rainy and some snow. The longest parts of the drive were on Interstate 77
North and south. 1680 total miles round trip. 89 gallons of 89 octain gas == 18.87 MPG(Math)
Longest drive without stoping 319miles.
Cheapest gas $2.229 89 oct Wytheville Va.
Most expensive gas $2.439 Canton Oh.
I also found that the gas tank lasts over 300 miles but my bladder only last about 150
Great trip car and I'm very happy with the sound without rear cans.
