I don’t have a good long distance one. I have a couple good short ones though.

RIT to Hamburg, about 79 miles, made it in 48 minutes, average speed of 98mph.  
RIT to where 90 connects to 690 in Syracuse, 80 miles in 50 minutes, average speed of 96mph.

Eh, it was just to prove you don’t get speeding tickets via ez-pass. I lead a boring life, lol.

Once drove Buffalo to Fort Meyers non stop, 22-23 hours in college. Fought the urge to fall asleep harder than I ever have in my entire life. Got there…couldn’t sleep. Spring break. Once drove from Buffalo to Atlantic City in my Talon TSI with my buddy and his Regal Grand Sport. Don’t remember the elapsed time but I distinctly remember the radar detector plugged in and running 95-100+ most of the way.

Miami FL, to Tonawanda, NY. 1400mi. In 17hrs including 4 stops for fuel and one of those included sitting down and eating at subway. Averaged 83mph by hand, but the display in the car said an average 97mph. Cruise was set at 100mph, never got pulled over the whole way. I did slow to 80mph one I hit NYS.

Likely not. I was in an RS6, just had bought it and seemed like the best way to test it out on the way back. It drove so well, it felt like 30 in any other car.

I’m in CT. Not trying to break/set land speed records anymore.  
Did a solid 73 the whole way with a 10 min stop for fuel.  
Leaving at 9pm makes for an easy drive with no traffic/construction.

I’m pumped the ginger is headed back.

Made it to Mt Rushmore in 27 hours, this included a 2 1/2 sleepy time break, and stopping at Wall Drug(what the hell is Wall Drug?), only averaged 56mph.

Averaged 68mph from Mt. Rushmore to Seattle. Basically from Wisconsin to Washington is like the Autobahn, but my girlfriend doesn’t like going fast at all so I only broke 100 while she was sleeping. I wish she would’ve driven so I could have slept haha.

When Renzo and I towed his vette from West Palm Beach to Houston we averaged 56mph. We stopped at some casino in the middle of the night in Alabama though.

I have done some huge stretches but don’t have anything impressive for average speed on a long haul.
