Personally, I prefer the expected average.
If hiring continues and we are properly manned how long will the current "average" remain? How far did they do a look back to get the "average"? Does the "average" include all the extensions and revisions? These are all valid questions when trying to evaluate the "expected average" $$ value of the TA.
You realize that "expected average" for a vehicle is done on a dyno and not by actually driving the car. And, we now know that test can be skewed, just ask VW
