Just got back from a trip from Illinois to Florida to watch the Sebring
12 Hour. We drove the TR6 75 to 85 mph all 3500 miles. 

Observations:

At 75 mph we got 30 mpg
At 85 mph we got 26 mpg
Best feature:  Overdrive
Worst feature: Uncomfortable left leg position. One 800 mile day seems
to kill all the nerve endings, however, and then it's fine.
Lots of compliments, hi 5's, thumbs up from others
At Sebring, saw only three other street LBC's -- Jeff Snook's TD, an
MGB, and a Marcos (!)

Great race. Great trip. We'd do it again.
