Dunno if brag/beat
I drove just under 2200 miles from Atlanta to Las Vegas by myself in about 40 hours (slept for ~3hrs in Norman, OK).
Definite beats; (1) In a '97 Integra with 170k miles (hey- at least it got there). (2) Average Gas price for the trip was somewhere in the 3.30's (3) 22 hours later, can't remember any of the drive other than following a Limo from the Gold Strike Tunica Through Mississippi on US78 going about 110 the whole way.

Re: Dunno if brag/beat
Heh, In arizona I saw the first cop since Norman. I was west of Flagstaff (read; middle of freaking nowhere) sitting under an overpass. I had cruise control set at 90 (75 zone) since I got into NM, and had been speeding seriously anytime I had line of sight and saw no cops. Anyway, this cop was facing the eastbound lanes and I saw him as I passed, tapped the brakes just as he was slamming into reverse to come after me. I set cruise at 79 and wait to get pulled over, and he comes up right behind me and tails me for about 30 miles (no joke) I guess it took a while to pull my registration from GA, but twentysomething minutes later, he just pulls around me, I smile and wave and get a mean look in return, and he flips a bitch at the next turnaround.
Gas.....looking at my reciepts..... $237.17, and a half tank left over.

Re: Dunno if brag/beat
Oh yeah, and the other definite beat is that this was the 2nd time in about a month I have made this trip, I helped two friends of mine do this drive in a silverado towing an acura tl. We did that one in about 36 hours with one real stop to eat at this random italian joint in OK somewhere.
Gas on that trip was a killer, like $700 thanks to the gross weight being close to 10k lbs
