Great story which I had not seen previously , loved it
.
I just experienced again another superior aspect of the SVX , namely long distance cruising . I just drove a 92 SVX LS alone across country from Portland ,OR to Medina ,OH . Trip statistics were as follows :
Day1 - Portland to Mt Home ,ID mileage 488
Day 2 Mt Home to Little America ,WYO mileage 550
Day 3 Little America to Kearney,NEB mileage 622
Day 4 Kearney to South Bend ,IND mileage 745
Day 5 South Bend to Medina,OH mileage 284
Despite some obviously long days at the wheel the car was comfortable and I did not feel exhausted at days end . The car gobbled up miles with ease and what a wonderful way to see this great country as well !
Fuel consumption at fill ups ranged from 25.7 mpg in the mountains to as high as 30.4 mpg in the flatlands , all the while cruising at 75 to 80 mph ( with occasional bursts up to 100 in the Nevada desert ) with A/C on auto and ambient daytime temperatures between 80 and 90 F .
I have been an SVX owner for 11 years now ( the 92 is my third ) and every day I drive one I say " Wow, this is one great car !"
