Wow that will be quite the hike. ~4-5k miles I'm guessing.

I'll probably drive my FR-S down to my parents place in the Florida Keys from Maryland. That's about 24 hours of total driving.

How is getting 35 mpg not good enough? You're getting better milage than about 75% of this board.

and @Tanuki --what about differences in gasoline formulations? Can you find 91 along the trip into Central America? That would be my biggest worry with taking the car south of the border.

Anchorage to Orlando: 4731 miles, most direct route.

Great point. I need to look into that, but I did see aston martin's, ferraris, etc all over the bigger cities, so there has to be something I guess, but you would have to plan stops I am sure.
