I really appreciate the help/advice from everybody.

So am I. The anxiety hasn't set in yet even though I completely stripped the front end of the FC tonight from the firewall forward for some hardcore cleaning/touchup painting.

Sounds like a plan for sure. So we're going to meet up with you guys at the Turkey Hill off exit 69 @ 09:00, correct?

I think I'm good, but thanks for the offer!

As for gas stops..... I just don't really care anymore with one exception. I'm a Mobil whore, I enjoy my SpeedPass. Does anyone have any objections to Mobil gas, if there are none that's who I plan on looking for.

Sure, rub it in. For some reason they don't accept a Canadian Speedpass in the US. Just because the Canadian brand is ESSO instead of Mobil.

My range in the FC on the highway is about 350 miles, +/-. Last year I left home with an almost full tank, had my 1st fill-up with about 1/8 tank left maybe 1/2 way thru VA, and would have made it all the way to NHV with my low fuel idiot light on, but I filled up at that last gas station in town before hitting NHV, since it was my 1st time there and I didn't know how much farther I had to go. Total trip was about 685 miles. Weird thing is that DGRR return home trip was the best mileage I EVER recorded on my FC - I got 24.9 MPG out of my last tank.
