Winter in Florida

[Happy Gourmand]

We drove from Nashua to Sarasota in 25 hours with stops for gas and pee only. 24 hours to the Keys sounds like a bit of a stretch.

Not stopping at all, to go 2,000 miles in 24 hours would be 83.3 MPH. Methinks he was rounding.

I was referring to the previous post, and suggesting that the... questionable numbers were probably just shot from the hip.

I see that now. I also see that Hampton to Key West is 1700 miles. That would still work out to 70 mph average. Pretty unlikely unless it was nonstop.

60MPH average is pretty good considering fuel stops, traffic, construction etc.

True enough...The miles I used was a guess, as I use "hours", not miles.

I'd received this message from the source October 10th—and this is his account:

"...26 hours actually is my best time, average is 28. I have a 2007 Chevy 2500 HD, yes it is diesel. I had a guy remap the computer and I now get 22 miles to the gallon. I have a 100 GL tank in the back that gravity feeds into the regular tank. I bought it from northern tool & equipment..."

Tired of Interstate back-ups near cities, stopped traffic near beaches, and the "white-knuckle-ride" of BosNYWash I-95, I take the longer, bucolic, and more scenic "inland route", via I-77.
