Default Major Road Trip

Just got back from a month long 6,000 mi road trip. Colorado-Sarasota-Baltimore-Boston and back with a few side trips thrown in. Zero issues or problems to report, she performed like a champ (2013 3.0T). Average Mpg on the computer was 27.2 w/ 99% highway. Manual calculation with total mileage/gallons used was 27, pretty damn close. Stopped in Sarasota for a week, talk about heat and humidity. Was in the high 90s with torrential downpours almost every day. No leaks or issues with the A/C coil freezing. Here’s what my rotors looked like one morning, they were clean when I parked the night before. Think I’ll scratch that area off as a possible retirement spot. Just thought I’d share some positive news.
