Well, its just under 400 miles from my house to Tellico Beach one way. I traveled a total of 1915 miles from my drive way and back. Used 70.5 gallons of 93 octane for an overall of 27mpg


That figures to be 1115, Up in da Mountains, Wet and Dry, Day and Night, Dragon Driving Miles.

~850 There back and all around.
I agree with above... I like to keep my miles down, but for an event like this I remind myself that it is a Honda, and with proper maintenance it's good for at least a 1/4 million. I'm never gonna sell it anyway so I'm not worried about depreciation.
