Took a quick weekend trip in the '11 SW TDI to meet the folks in Savannah. Atlanta->Tybee Island->Savannah->Atlanta.
I reset wrong MFI on way down so it reset after sitting at Tybee overnight. Kept the cruise between 78-79 the entire way and ended up with a 74 MPH average and 41.2 MPG. Didn't bother doing the readings from Tybee Island to Savannah as it was such a short trip and I frankly didn't care. Return we kicked it up a notch and had the cruise planted at 81-83 depending on the fastest flow of traffic with a few jaunts to 85-90 for passing - 37.1 MPG was the final reading returning home.
Not too shabby but diesel was crazy expensive the further from Atlanta you got, I kinda wish I had slown down and made it there and back in 1 tank as it was 3.89/gallon pretty much everywhere outside of Atlanta vs the $3.45/gallon we paid here on the way out. Thinking 70-75 MPH would have got us there and back on 1 tank but we all know how it goes when you are driving home from vacation and you just want to be home and push it a little faster.
