So for those interested in cruising up as a group, how about meet at the mall between 6:30-7:00 and leave by 7:10. That should give us 55 mintues for stops, gas, or God forbid any other mishaps. This also means we can take our time and not make this a cannonball run. I know I'll have to stop to get gas in Bloomington for sure (Getting under 20MPG FTL), so I'll be making sure where there is a gas station in that area that has 93 octane. LMK if your down for this or if you have any suggestions.

Sounds good to me Rob!!!

That's what me and Eric did on the way back last year, made it back in like two and half hours or so.

Well anyways I just requested the day off at work today, so I'll be there, but I was wondering if anyone had room for a passenger. I'd be more than happy to help with gas funds.

FYI: at 70mph(spdlmt in IL is 65) it takes 2.5 to get from here to b/n. with a group it might take 3hrs.

well it took us less then that last year to get there and we got lost 1/2 way there lol

and we avg'd 80 last year on the way up
