...and proceeded to spend $83.70 on voodoo doughnuts for friends and family. the GLI performed admirably on the trip. i always forget how good it is at pounding down the miles with no issues. To top off the comfort of the car, i do have to mention that it got pretty incredible gas mileage on the trip there!

Yes, my tuned, lowered, not-on-low-rolling resistance tires car got an average 36 MPG on the highway, crusing at speeds between 65 and 80 MPH. i filled up when i got down to portland, and the gauge was actually very accurate. it was off by .3 though, as according to my math, i got 36.6 mpg over the 140-ish mile drive!

another example of the awesome mileage (taken by my co-driver) can be seen here, as i was getting better-than-EPA numbers with the cruise set at 80 MPH
...love this car so much sometimes!

The PNW is so lacking in decent donuts that people here waste money on such crap. It’s depressing.
