Default Road trip - success

I've been making some corrections and getting some extras together to support my travel needs. I've posted them on here but thought I'd follow-up. I made it to Destin, Florida from Detroit. 3 adults and 4 kids. Happy to say that every last mod has been worth every penny and/or hour spent.

Kids and back seat passenger needed the power ports I added
Third dvd screen (with it's own player) worked like a charm - Barbie movies in the back with old school he-man in the front

Nav Bypass was used multiple times for my wife to look at route details and saved us from taking a bad route

Stowaway was a must for all of our luggage, kept all of our leg room. I couldn't help but notice all of the people with roof top carriers and rubber made bins with bungee cords...

and of course the 9500ix saved us from a couple tickets

Any idea of your MPG during the trip?

I have no idea... I drive 85-ish and I don't tend to look at the pump for morale...

I can say that I drove from NJ (NYC area) to NH and back, I wasn't easy on it, pushed as much as 85 MPH for some stretches and according to the MPG per tank on the dash I did 21-22 MPG for the 3 tanks of gas I went though on the trip there and back.
