Default Drove to Santa Barbara this past weekend in the allroad..

Average Speed: 67 mph
Average MPG: 22.3 mpg
351 miles on one tank
40 miles left on trip computer
4 hours and 21 minutes (with one minor stop in SLO).

Got there Thursday night. Several hours later, I was the lucky recipient of sucker punch from a drunk dude outside a bar (whom is still at large). Spent Thursday night and Friday night in the hospital. Broken cheekbone and fractured orbital, and I got six stitches. I have surgery scheduled for this Friday morning with a very good Maxillofacial Surgeon in the bay area. I swear, I was REALLY an innocent by-stander (which is what makes me so upset).

Had family drive me home Saturday morning (dad drove down late friday night). After watching Lance Armstrong win the 13th stage, we headed home. I remembered to record the statistics:

Average speed: 62 mph
Average MPG: 21.6 mpg
343.3 miles on one tank
Filled up once (we made three stops).

Dad couldn't get over the new power the allroad has. Says he was surprised he didn't get tickets (pl.) on the way home. He really liked the 6th gear power.

Default This is just not fair..We've had the cops visiting on Sunday morning.. for no reason...

...and you've got into a situation where their presence is more than required...simply not fair.
I hope you will be O.K.
