I'm in. 85.5 SVO I believe.
155 miles, 3.0 hours from Sunny Southwick to Bethpage. Been there before for another event, beautiful place! Taking Route 8 down to the Merrit to the Hutch, over the Whitestone.
Note that the Mets are playing the Dodgers @ 1:10 at Citifield. That should make it interesting.
I will also volunteer to man the grill, if you need me!
Looking forward to attending and actually having a Four Eye, even though it has only two eyes!

I don't do hardly any highway driving with my car. So all local / moderate speeds I'm averaging 23 MPG. And that's with ~1000' elevation change between my house and work. In contrast, my Tahoe is averaging 17 with a combo of highway and local.
Highway should see mid to upper 20's with a properly tuned SVO (assuming you stay out of boost).

I have a bunch of "Highway Miles" under the chassis of my SVO - Probably 3,000 of the 15, 098 currently on the OD.
Have done "one way" runs of 550 miles a few times since new
I have gotten a Best of 26.5 MPG @ 60-65 MPH.
That's with the AC ON in 90+ degree heat on rips in July and Aug. !
Two people on board
Overall "Highway MPG" figures out to about 24.7 MPG
SVO is kept in Good Tune.
At maybe $4+ Dollars a gallon by Fox-A-Que time that 26 MPG figure would be "wallet friendly"
No special driving technique - Juts "normal" Interstate cruising - On the Boost for On -Ramp and passing.
No Feather footing
Hope that helps - Look forward to seeing your SVO at The Que

Either way look forward to meeting up again at the 2012 Fox-A-Que and this year my son Kyle will be there with our TC -

Always a good thing - A Nice New Clutch - Equals many HAPPY Miles - Not to mention Smiles !
I am awaiting a set of OEM Style ( Walker) replacement Mufflers for the SVO -
Will have them properly installed to keep the "Original Look"
They will enable me to Smile ( and pass NYS Inspection ) and enjoy my miles.
Any success with the Fox-A-Que Reg Link ?
