Re: Getting new TCH Monday. (finally)
Took another 100 + miler day trip, with passengers. Two adults in the front, 2 adults in the rear seats. Could not detect any sensation of the added weight. Estimate there was 340 lbs in the front and rear seating, total of 680 lbs. Passengers in the rear commented on the ride quality being great. One note on the additional weight or it could have been the headwind factor or a combo of both. Will add my miles per hour were higher then last trip. (lots of Staties out too. Lucky me) Was not able to increase mpg like on first 100 mile trip which was almost identical to trip last week. Use ECO mode all the time, CC on and used most of the time, including passing a few times on the highway. Most terrain use is small town (city like) driving. Most short hauls are 2 to 6 milers. Hills, rolling hills some suburb and farmland rides included. First tankful avg was 36.1. So far on second tank, avg is 35.8 with slightly less then a half tank to go. TCH is better than anticipated before buying. Plenty of speed, (after settling in after take off) CC passing, smooth and fast enough for sure. Should I give it an A for overall score?
