1800 mile, post fix update
I had family in town for a couple of weeks so I got a chance to put 3 tanks of fuel through her. I still see zero difference in my driving experience which includes mountain driving up to 7,000 ft. 1st tank with city driving I hand calculated 26 mpg. 2nd and 3rd tanks with primarily highway driving 75~80 mph I hand calculated 29 mpg. I am very happy with these numbers and my car overall.
As a side note I received my 2nd check from Bosch for $750 on 2/17 so I am completely finished with all compensation.
My Dad and I were curious as to the value of my car now so to answer that curiosity I took it to Carmax yesterday and they gave me a value of $23,000. 2014, 50k, VERY clean. No way would I give this car up for that. I bought my car used for 35k. If you deduct monies received from VW and Bosch the car cost me 25k.
At this point everything is behind me and I can just get back to enjoying my Q5.
