Cool Road Trip

Just got back from a 500 mile trip. Some traffic streets, a lot of highway and a lot of twisty hilly country roads. Averaged 70.1 MPH and 24.2 MPG. Much better than I thought it would do. Started the trip with under 900 miles on the clock. Really happy with that for 328 HP and AWD. Really solid in the hills and a cruiser on the highway until you need to pass and then it gets up and goes.

We had a 335i with terra seats, alpine white car; we liked that a lot. Wasn't sure about this red-red at first; but now it really is OK.

Just made a trip to Miami from Atlanta yesterday, average speed was 74.1 mph, and 26.1 mpg. I could of done better but couldn't resist doing few short acceleration runs to 120 on open roads.... In the beginning of my trip I was getting 27 mpg when i was doing 70-75 mph.... Funny thing is that my mini cooper s averaged 26 mpg when I drove up to Chicago just few months ago..

I hope you didn't run upto 120 in state of Georgia. GA recently passed Super Speeder law. Basically you can fined H*LL out of you if you go over 85 in any GA roads.
