Driving the Touareg V10 to Portland
Had the chance to take the 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI out for a little road trip this weekend. Down to Portland from Seattle, around the city and back. All on B100. It was about a 400 mile trip all together. The EPA says I should get 17/23 city/hwy. According to the onboard computer, the Touareg turned in 22.5mpg average over the whole trip. Now when have you actually gotten mileage the EPA says? Usually it is 20-30% less. But I was running Seattle Biodiesel, straight out of the refinery. Ran like a champ. And beat a tuner toyota off the line at the stoplight too! Gosh I wish they would let these things back into the country!
