Was the bucket and squeegee there? I truly appreciated that when I swung through there this summer.

Yes! Thanks to whom ever did this. It's nice to be able to clean the windshield if needed. Although I did have one observation about our Seattle to Portland to Seattle roadtrip, I didn't see evidence of any bug strikes on the car anywhere. Maybe it was because the weather conditions were really wet and rainy? I'll be taking an extended roadtrip in April to the bay area, so I should have much more data on the bugstrikes then!
Took a weekend trip from Seattle to Portland and back this weekend. Conditions were not favorable for efficiency. Lots of standing water on the roads, driving rain and temps in the low 40's. For the whole trip, including time in the city driving here are the results: Also the tires are still new and breaking in, so that also was a negative in terms of efficiency. In the stretches where the speed limit was 60MPH I usually set Autopilot to 64 mph. For stretches where is was 70MPH I set it for 74 MPH.
'Since last charge' represents the stretch from Centralia to Redmond
Trip A is the return journey from Portland to Redmond
Trip B is the entire trip - Conditions were much worse on the way to Portland, thus the worse efficiency total.

Also for reference, here are some pictures for the 5 miles and 15 miles driving into Centralia, going north from Portland. There the speed limit drops to 60 MPH and the roads are relatively level - you can see efficiency was much greater (which it should be):

Off Topic #2: what do your kids think of the X? My 4 year old loves it and refers to it as "her rocket ship" (it's a Little Einsteins reference, which you can see the resemblance being Signature Red: Little Einsteins - The Good Knight and the Bad Knight - YouTube)
The trip to Portland was almost like being in our own private Lear jet! I plan to start a thread about the experience. The X is going to be an amazing family roadtrip car for us. Portland was just a shakedown cruise. We'll take it to the Bay area and back (From Seattle) in April for Spring break.
