MTTS day 4 – Flagstaff to Alberquerque

Today was a great mixture – we had great weather, and storms (and the GP does need a rear wiper in wet weather!); we had long straight roads but good scenery; we lost an hour but finished the day with some amazing track time (thanks NMMINI and Sandia MINI):

And the GPs continue to impress – running 200+ miles at an average speed of 60+, regularly peeking into 80-90, we still averaged 32mpg, better than the sticker quoted 30 for highway use! And yes, I’ve confirmed the OBC is pretty accurate.
