Default Honda Pilot... Perfect Vehicle

So we just drove from Seattle to Hertford NC in out '06 Honda Pilot. I had myself and Brooke in the front along with an iPod FM Txer, a GPS, and a DVD player. Skyler was in the middle of the back seat in her Recaro car seat (big for a car seat) and not much else. In the back we had 3 full size suit cases, a "Cuddler" Plush seat (http://www.plushcomfort.com/inc/sdetail/46), a Bicycle, two carry-on bags, a toiletries bag, a camera bag, an Oakley laptop bag, some purses, and a whole hell of a lot of cups, bottle, cans of homemade salsa, toys for Skyler and a ton of other things. Both front seats could still fully recline and my view out the back wasn't obstructed at all. We had room for 2 more people if we wanted.

The greatest thing??? In Montana at 90mph we got about 22 mpg. From North Dakota through Penn we drove around 70-75mph and got 26 mpg. On the last two legs of the trip we were driving about 60-65 and got (I shit you not) 28.4 mpg.







Oh yeah, we're home!
