I returned yesterday from a 1300mi trip to welcome youngest son back from Irag - can't tell you how happy an occasion that was!
Another fabulous trip in my 10yr old Saab, passed the 160K mi mark along the way, just a pleasure every mile, aside from a 3hr delay / detour on 287 in NJ (tried a different route north - picked a bad day for it!).
Of note, I kept cruise at ~65mph (68-69 after detour) except when traffic heavy around DC, where I 'flowed with traffic'.
Got insane MPG - 35, 36 MPG's highway (even with a 90min crawl).
With my old snow tires on (Nokian RSI pleasant as well - last winter for them so I ran the extra miles on them - another story about them being stuck on)! Inflated to 40 psi cold.
Certainly noticed the aggravation factor way down at those relaxed speeds.
If you haven't tried it I recommend you try!
