Default Hi, Gnow....

here's the link to our little adventure, since you probably missed it.

It was a pleasure finally meeting you and Beth, but I can't believe your average speed isn't higher and your mpg lower the way you finally burned it up on Saturday. (Hope it wasn't too big of a shock.)

Oh, and TTurbo, Thumper and I crossed a TT on Highland Road when we were re-entering BTR. Couldn't make out who it was as we were moving. I did see him coming and flicked my lights. He must've been stunned as TTurbo was right behind me.

Drive that TT like you mean it! :-)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/212710.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/212710.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Average speed was low because of all the in-city driving...

I was really surprised about the high MPG, but I guess I did a lot of highway driving in 6th gear. I didn't really drive all THAT fast on the highway (I'm paranoid of getting a ticket) and the River Road Run wasn't all THAT far, so I guess all the averages make some sense, but I'm still surprised by the MPG.
