4000 mile road trip

My wife and I are getting ready to take our new HHR on a 4000 mile road trip from Houston to New York. We will be on the road for almost a month. We are hoping our new HHR will help make our trip a great one. We make this trip every year. This is one reason we purchased an HHR. We traded in a 2004 Trailblazer that made the run 3 times. Can't wait to hit the road in style and save myself a bundle in gas money. Sure hope we can get 30mpg on the open road.

I hope you are going up I-81 for the northern part of your trip.You can pick up I-81 in Knoxville if I am not mistaken.The last time I went up to Jersey I tried 81 and it was beautiful and had less traffic than my old way up I-85 to I-95.I'll never fight that traffic on I-95 again.From here in Lower Alabama up to the Jersey Shore there was only a 60 mile difference using the "scenic route". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_81

Just got home from a 2,000 mile trip and all went great. Averaged 28.7 MPG with a full load of people and luggage. That includes driving around Denver, and a trip in the mountains. We had enough stuff in the car on the trip to our hotel and home it gave the HHR a lowered look . Good luck with your journey, I hope you have as great a trip as we did. BTW I saw very few HHRs on the trip. Kind of disappointed we didn't see more.
