Yep, I'm just North of Lenoir on 321, it's getting pretty hilly at this point in the Appalachians (we're around 1,800 feet where the house is, no flooding here!)
I actually lived in the Red Roof Inn in Hickory for the month of July 2010 while we were looking for a house in Lenoir. There was a Starbucks about 300-400 feet from the motel, it was good. (Considering there were 2 within a block from where I worked next to the White house in DC. ) I was there 2-3 times a day, VENTI refill please!
MPG's have been very, very good. I fill-up once every 3 weeks. I can feel the engine braking pretty darn good around here, even coming out of our subdivision. Will be driving up the mountain soon, last time was 4-11-13 picking up the new Yaris.
