Took my first road trip from Orange County to Fresno this evening. 271 miles of mixed rush hour, mountains (grapevine) and flats. I averaged 70 mph when possible. My mileage was 32.3 mpg after LA Rush Hour and the climb over The Grapevine, and just under 36 for the run up highway 99 (mostly flat).

Magnaflow growl was not bad at all. A nice low rumble at 3000 RPM. I could certainly hear it when the auto down shifted on the toughest part of the hill climb. xB had no trouble climbing the hill at 65-70 mph.

I finally did my relocating trip from NY to south Florida. With 60% of the back seat down and 3 drivers along with all my stuff (which is not much) We managed to make it in 20 hrs at speeds ranging from 65-80mph. Had to fill Up about six times in a 1350 mile trip. The box got the job done. I enjoyed the ride! :twisted:

will be take a lot shorter road trip this weekend myself!

nice to see scion owners on the road when I am on a road trip. Always a thumbs up on the road. I wish darren didn't take out the road trips section from scionlife.
