Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides Where do you take your van on vacation?

I took a roadtrip this last weekend: I went out to Ocean Shores, Washington, then down into the Columbia Gorge on the Washington-Oregon border. Great wekend, and Bumpy averaged about 20 mpg fully loaded with four adults and luggage for the weekend. [ May 07, 2006, 05:39 PM: Message edited by: Reed ]

i felt like i went too. and you went over the speed limit.

My van goes to "11"! Actually, I have gotten it to "M" several times. You Ford owners know what I am talking about.

Yeah I'm lost on that one Reed.


I've had may van down to Charlotte, NC. Dover, DE for NASCAR, the Natz, Carlisle, PA etc. I looooove to drive.

If you look in the picture above, there is a little bit of lettering below the odometer. The lettering says "MPH". So when I say my van can go "M", that is what I am referring to.

Ah-so.

ok, you ford guys,with the speedometer past 85 & towards the M have you had it back to zero, I didnt know they would do that.

I think it was up on jack stands. Nice pics, Reed! You probably would have averaged 30 mpg if you stuck to the posted speed limits.

"honey, HURRY HURRY gimme the camera!!!!!!!! i'm goin M!!!!"

lol.. nice pic!! i love the one at the beach!
