Great Trip

Just got back late last pm from Germany. Car was great, autobahn was fun. Average spped was around 88 mph with 20.9 mpg while on the autobahn. Top speed 110 figured that was enough. Car was really great, cant wait to get it back in the sates. I figure my wife will steal it from me once it arrives.

very nice, good mileage for not broken-in car, maybe gas in europe is different. Def. post some pics.

I have 300-mile one way trip coming up, looking forward to see what I will average in terms of mpg's.

Does anybody know what's the most efficient speed? I'm thinking at 70mph I should get 25mpg.
