^ Hope you didn't spill any of that Keith's, that would be a travesty - one punishable by a prinson sentence on the east coast so I hear ...

LOL, I did spill a bit on the deck Chris. That was no problem, I think Shane's dog Vegas was raised with Keith's, she just lapped it all up and was looking for more.

We stayed in Fredericton, NB last night and we are now resting comfortably in a nice Hotel in Levi Quebec, just outside of Quebec City.
The FX is an awesome cruising machine we absolutely love it (although I found my cruising speed creeping up to 150 or so at times). The only way I could prevent that was to use my Intelligent Cruise.

Yeah, Vegas has probably had a little practice.

The FX must be really smooth if you can creep up unknowingly like that.

She must like her drink a bit at that cruising altitude.

The FX does ride very smooth on good highways.
Generally my gas consumption has been 25 to 26 mpg with 6 fill-ups, one fill-up with 24.4 and two fill-ups about 23 mpg. I always manually calculate my gas consumption at each fill-up

Up untill today we have travelled just over 5,000 kms and the actual driving time is 66.5 hours

^LOL, my Dad had a coworker that use to give the dog (a retreiver I believe) a beer everytime he had one. Poor thing became an alcoholic, got to the point that the dog actually got the shakes if it didn't get a beer!

Wise words. Those of us that have a better half who enjoys "driving" are blessed.

Not really...costs a lot more to keep her happy. I wish mine was content with a little corolla or civic, but "lucky" me, she LOVES nice cars...so I'll be passing on the G to her one day.

Well, mine is happy with her 2010 Mazda sport but I wouldn't complain at all if she liked something more expensive.

We bought her a nice TL in '99 and then was happy to accept a '01 Sunfire for the next one.
