Hello All, the day I have been waiting for is fast approaching. To pick up my new 92 Pearl SVX
I will be flying into Washington Nation Airport on Feb 5th, and staying with my Uncle in Arlington, VA. On Thursday Feb 6th I will be meeting with John(SVXcess) and he will share with me the secrets to his 92 Pearlie, at which point he will say good-bye. I will give John some time alone with her, before I drive her away. I hope to meet as many of you as possible on my trip back to the West Coast. Here is my current itinerary: Wednesday Feb 5th: Arrive in Washington DC. Thursday Feb 6th: Pick up Pearlie and spend the day with John Friday Feb 7th: See the sites in the DC area, pick up some supplies, visit who I can. Saturday Feb 8th: Leave for and hopefully arrive in Chicago, Il. Feb 9th - 11th: Stay with my Brother in Elmhust Il, Visit as many of you as possible Wednesday Feb 12th: Leave Chicago area towards Grande Junction, CO on I-80 Wednesday Feb 12th: Stop somewhere in the middle, suggestions??  Thursday Feb 13th: Arrive in Grande Junction. Stay the night. Friday Feb 14th: See as many of you as I can. Then leave for Boise, stay the night. Saturday Feb 15th: Home stretch. Travel to Seattle area, meet as many of you as possible. Drive through the Border, and go to bed. I have put my detailed route maps in my locker under Road Trip This plan is still tentative, but I will try to keep it accurate. I will be on my Yahoo ID chrisdgooderham from time to time. And if you feel like text messaging(SMS) me: 604-787-1975. or go to www.txt.bellmobility.ca and send me a message.

Hope to see you soon. Ron.

I am using Delorme Street Atlas USA 9.0 to plan, map, and with my GPS and Laptop, track my trip.
I'm curious as to what I can expect for fuel economy, John mentioned 30mpg, that latest poll suggested 25. And what is the capacity of the tank? Street Atlas thinks it can plan my fuel stops  here is a copy of the total route:

mileage..
On my road trip to Indiana for the 10th meet, the best I got was 28.26 mpg....This was speeding across Nebraska, with the AC on.
Average 24 to 26, depending on terrain.

Re: mileage..
My best overall mileage was on the trip to Lafayette in July. I got 29.8mpg on the trip out, travelling in a caravan about 80mph.
On long trips I usually get about 26mpg. Around here, my average country/city mileage runs about 23 using the oxygenated gasoline, which gives me less mileage.

Route Change
There is no place prettier than I-70 west of Denver... But in February you might need to take the northern route through Cheyene WY. I think those roads are open quite a bit more than 70 is.
I lived in Boise for 5 years. for fun we'd do Denver for a weekend. The Green River valley is the prettiest place on the planet. Collins 92 pearlie Syracuse

Maybe we can meet at Reading IV. Meanwhile, I hope your GPS works in the SVX. I've had a bit of difficulty in mine. Works great in my wife's van. I'm using the Radio Shack DigiTraveler for laptop with the Delorme Street Atlas 2003. I love that little sucker. But, again, haven't been able to get it to work on the front dashboard. Perhaps I'll try to find a way to rig it on the rear deck.Godspeed for a safe trip.

I had problems with my GPS as well until I got an exterior antenna. It is magnetic and will stick to the roof. I had more signal strength than I could believe when I plugged it in. It was worth the $25.00 that I paid for it.
