Default Mountain trip

Took a trip up to Breckinridge CO in my SQ5. Really enjoyed the SQ in the mountain passes and curves. Lots of power and managed to get 20-22 mpg. Used the drive select in dynamic mode most of the time. Had a lot of looks in Breckinridge. The misano just screams!!!

Nice, that's a pretty awesome result especially needing to go through mountains/hills and being in S mode. I got ~27 going to Lubbock with all the hills and small towns and that was in D on a TDI, so while it's hard to compare two totally different inter-state runs, getting as high as nearly highway rating with mountains and stuff to go through and being in S (which increases consumption from the higher RPM) is really good.

I don't get all technical with my MPG's. I just go by the trip
Computer. I figure pull in when it needs gas and fill up. It burns my friends *** that I don't care to much about MPG's. Hell anything over 15mpg is great in my book. I drive 2500-3500 trucks in my construction business. He drives a jetta TDi and plans is route to a tee. Does not like to go of coarse. Lol.
