It was only a 3 hour drive each way to/from Austin, but I was really surprised by how comfortable the ride was. It even averaged 22.8 mpg at speeds between 75 and 80 mph.

I know what you're thinking, going to Austin before SXSW? All the vendors are setting up the week before, and you can get a lot of free cool stuff and don't have to shell out the $1,500 a person for tickets. Plus all the clubs have great music with some unexpected headliners practicing, and you don't have to deal with crowds. We even got let in to some kickoff parties. We had a great time.

In 2013 I went from MA to NJ and back in mine. Good car for a trip. if you keep it under warp 9 you get even better mileage

I was in Austin for a weekend once and had a blast! Great to hear the Camaro made the trip there even better.

$1,500 per ticket? I hope everything is free inside the gate.

Mine is our road trip/weekend warrior. In '13 we took it from Pennsylvania to Missouri then down to Oklahoma before coming back. Comfortable ride. I don't say this about many vehicles, but when we got back I still wanted to be driving the Camaro around town that night! Got around 24-25 mpg too, if my memory serves me right.
