Default Still impresses me

I had to take a trip yesterday to visit a stricken friend. The round trip was 482 miles of 90% highway driving. Average speed going out was 64mph and coming back was 61mph according to the car info window. As mentioned it was a drive out , visit , and return trip. This was done using Mobil regular gas and Castrol 5W-30 dino oil with 30K miles on my OEM 2010 Bridgestone tires. Just as we hit our driveway the yellow fuel light came on and when I checked the range it said 34 miles left. So today I need to wash off all of the bugs and fill up the tank. I guess this 3.5L 6 cylinder is a pretty good workhorse for Toyota . Oh and the ride was still smooth and quiet even with the 30K miles on the tires.

I have only owned mine for 3 weeks and have burned through three tanks of gas (I'm a Realtor so I drive a lot) and the car says I am averaging 26 miles to the gallon. Not half bad for regular gas in such a nice large comfortable car. I miss my SC430, but this makes it all a little less painful. And jagtoes is right, the smooth quiet ride? Nice.
