First Road Trip

Well finished the first road trip last week
Drove 1,126 mile round trip from Seattle to North Idaho! We arrived after 300miles and had got 18.6mpg cruising at 80mph pretty much the whole way.
MPG dropped to the 16.4 due to multiple family rides that were given. I have now learned it’s easier on the car to just let others drive, because most will be way easier than when I show the power of the car! All so far are scared before they even see/feel M mode
Posted some pictures of telemetry and location/where I grew-up!

Must have been a fun trip. Where is that in Idaho? I was just in Sandpoint on the 5th. I took the Volvo S60.. you know, the M5 being a show car and all. What? What did I say?

I was the kid who had the big box Crayola Crayons and wouldn't use any because they were all neat and sharp. I didn't want to use them you see.
