Incidentally, I just drove to Massillon/Canton From Colorado Springs. I don't care what people say about travelling during these current gas prices, here are my stats: 1321 miles each way 18 hours with the wheels turning took 2 20 minute naps and slept 6 hours in a hotel after the first 12 hours. Got an avg of 29.5 Mpg and avg 78 Mph. Whole trip cost $350 in PREMIUM gas! And it was the first road trip ever in this car,and I cant wait to go somewhere else! THE BEST PART, was following a BOXTER on the way back. I dont have a radar detector and also have the belief that if you hear the alarm its too late anyway. We COOKED from the Indy Border to Topeka Kansas and when we both stopped to gas up we laughed about not even seeing one cop. He was surprised I kept up and I was surprised that I had the NADS to.

Have fun on your trip regardless where you stop.
Going cross country, spent a couple days at the Grand Canyon. Headed to Chicago but needed to get to Tulsa to meet up with a friend for dinner. Left 4:30AM Arizona time(6:30AM Central) and got to Tulsa at 8:30PM. 1100 miles. On one stretch I averaged 29mpg and almost 90mph heading down the plateaus.

As for radar detectors, if you keep your eyes open and try to keep yourself cloaked as often as possible, advanced warning from kickass detectors like the V1 will be more than enough to keep you out of trouble. 12+ years and 0 tickets by radar with my V1 is more than enough proof that radar detectors work beautifully.
