1100 mile weekend trip...
Took a trip to San Diego this weekend to purchase a car for my daughter. Damn, gas went up $.05 in two days in the valley! Seems all gas in Northern and Southern California are between $3.92 and $4.09 for premium. The X averaged between 19 & 20 mpg doing around 80 most of the trip down hwy 5. The X ran extremely well and pulls well from 80 on up when passing. There were some small imports doing 80 as well but don't pull well at that speed. We only saw a few CHP's but almost everyone is going 75+ but not making dangerous moves. The 475 mile trip home took us 7 3/4 hours and going down took around 7 1/4 hours. All in all, a pretty nice drive. Oh, bought our daughter an '08 Audi A4 w/ Navi.
