What's this?

Blacksburg to 470 miles generally west, in 6hrs23 min


That's a trip speed of a little more than 72 mph, for the 6hr23min.

Gassed up at the Wilco on North Main, and didn't stop until I got to my destination (thank goodness for the big gas tank in my Grand Cherokee (at the time)).

Bonus: This required overcoming the "13+ different speed limits in the first 60 miles on 460 West towards Princeton WV with more cops than you could imagine" penalty that started the trip WAAAAY below that trip average.
