This was a 2400 mile drive, almost the same distance as New York - Los Angeles. The old Caprice did it without any problems. However we often got questions about fuel consumption. Easy to understand as we have to pay about $11 a gallon over here. Fully loaded we where packing 2,8 tons. Combining this with a V8 engine and auto transmission may sound scary, but Caprice is tuned to deliver good milage. In the hilly landscapes we measured consumption to 1,3 liters every10 kilometers. On "highway", Trondheim to Oslo wich is a six hour drive we measured 1,14 liters every 10 kilometers. Not bad for a carbureted V8 engine. Also had to add a few liters of engine oil. Caprice is an old (1988) unrestored car, so this was expected. Don't know the milage on it. Lofoten is a very beautiful place.
