This interval began with a run to Detroit and back, but has been otherwise almost exclusively short trips (2-4 miles) at some cold temps (down to 0F). Lots of idling, average speed of maybe 20 mph. Gets just warm enough to make some nice heat, then shut down. Every couple of months it gets a road trip of 150-300 miles. It nearly killed me to leave it in for 7450 miles, but it seems pretty ok with it.
For nearly 215k on an n54 I'm pretty happy. Only issue that might be connected to the fuel is that this car, since the last uoa, really likes to start rich. Something is causing this engine to crank just dumping fuel, but is perfectly fine once it's running. I have not figured it out. It's like starting a warm engine with the choke on.
Since it's January, the T6 came out and PP 5-30 went in.
