Glad you made it. Did you use the active lane assist feature? I can't feel the vibration even though it is checked on in the MMI. I can feel the car steering back into the lane when I drift, but the steering wheel doesn't feel like it is vibrating. Do I really need to go over the line to get the wheel to vibrate?

Thanks to all who posted sympathy and personal experiences. If it happens again I will pull out the list I generated from this thread and make sure they try them all.
Heading out to Long Island tomorrow morning at 0500. It's over 11 hours and I want to mKe sure I try to miss the rush hour (more like 3 hours starting at 1600) - maybe 0400 would be a safer bet, we'll see.
Wish me luck! I'm feeling good about the drive and when it's running (which I am hoping is always from now on) it's a dream. I was getting 28 mpg when the misfire happened last Monday. Let's see if I can replicate that on this drive.
Ciao!

trying to figure out if it's the sport exhaust and/or the dynamic settings that are more responsible for my miserable gas mileage...
related Q -- why, at highway cruising speeds, would the DRC or sport exhaust setting matter in terms of mileage? at city speeds with acceleration i totally get it, but i'm trying to figure out what the heck i'm doing that's costing me 2-3mpg...

I only know what the Fuel Consumption bar was reading and It built to 27 plus, reaching 28 after 7 hours of driving. I must say I was in auto mode and used adaptive cruise set to the speed limit most of the way on open roads.i made a point of not throttling much and only passing if really necessary. I believe this caused the engine to be in 4 cyl mode for long distances which must have improved overall mileage significantly. Since I got to Long Island I have currently been averaging 17.6 around town.
There is a fuel station near here that claims to have 100 octane gas. I mean to try a tankful soon.
