So I just drove my xD across the country. Started in Virginia near Roanoke and went all the way to right outside of Seattle, Washington. I thought it did awesome. Plenty of power for the Rockies and Cascades. Also.... I had four cats and my lady in the car and was comfortable the whole way.
I love this thing hehe

 

sweet, how many miles?

 

Awesome...Do you know what your average MPG was for the trip?

 

Well.... from A to B was 2807.7 miles, and the average was right around 35.5.
Flippin sweet!

 

and i thought the trip i am making on wednesday was going to be a long one, from omaha, nebraska, to oklahoma city, oklahoma, to las vegas, nevada, and possibly to the ocean somewhere in california. lol

 

No too shabby...Oh yea, welcome to SL and congrats on the xD...

 

Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ...Sounds like a fun road trip...Have a safe one...

 

I'm about to do just about the same Tampa, FL to right outside Seattle. I hope my MPG works out to right around that! It would definitely save me a few bucks. Curious....what route did you take? I

 

keep it under 70, and your mileage will increase, oh, and put 89 in. when i took my trip from pittsburgh to indy, i put 89 in for the trip, and back, and i average about 4-5 MPG better than my regular highway driving here to work.

 

I will have to get back to you on the route... but Seattle area is where I am. I hope to get in touch with the local Scion nutz up here since I will be here for a while.

From what I remember, I took 29 north around Lincoln NE up to 90 west then all the way on 90. The southern route may be more scenic tho... Montana was 589 miles of nada (no offense to anybody). There were cool bilboards tho. Like...

before meth i had a daughter, now i have a prostitute!!!!!

Like really. Guess I have stayed on the east coast too long to see what else is out there!!!

 

HAHAHA! That billboard is awesome! As much as I would like to see Montana (yes, I know a bunch of nothing but I sooo wanna see the state!) gonna take Route 66. Yes, completely cheesy and cliche but I just have to do it :D

 

So it was 64W to St.Louis, then 70W to 29N to Sioux Falls, then 90W all the way to WA!!! Iowa was not much fun for me because you go from 6600ft in Mineral, Montana to about 2170ft in Spokane, Washington, over the course of about 150 miles. Touture for those with sensitive ears!

Montana was great scenery, but that was it.

Route 66 sounds fun, but get a map!

 

ok so i just got back from my road trip it was 4021.4 miles total filled up 15 times. i took on 109 gallons at various prices totaling 317.96. for a grand MPG of 36.89 also i was traveling at about 80-82mph almost the whole trip except maybe 100 miles

 

That's a pretty good mpg considering the average speed you said you were doing

 

I got about the same MPG at bout the same MPH! xD luv

 

heck yeah! the xd is definately great on gas. it would have cost twice as much if we took her santa fe, and it was way cheaper than flying as well
