We decided to drive on our summer vacation this year and I don't know if I'll do it again. The way out was fun, but the way home was looooong!
No mechanical problems but in kansas I filled up and made it to our destination on the same tank and my car started funny and was really underpowered, I just thought it was the high altitude that was making it like that, until I filled up with some cononco diesel and it was running like a champ. Please nobody fill up diesel in western kansas!
I also turned over 100,000 miles on the way out!
Colorado is beautiful, and I saw many TDI's. I came out a few times once at a trail and another at the marina and tdi wagons parked right next to my tdi wagon, I thought on purpose, but who knows.
70-85 MPH the whole way and averaged 35-40 MPG with the a/c on and bike racks on top but I smashed the bikes in the rear to save MPG's. Is this normal I never get over 40 MPG with my 04 wagon?
1800 miles each way and a 400 mile day to the national park and to denver for the day and roughly 100 around Breck equals 4100 total miles in two weeks!
