haha about the gas price? sad thing is, that's the lowest it's been in about a month. i paid 4.64 about 2 weeks ago.

yea, the AT is nice on the highway. i can cruise at 55 and the tach will be at 2050ish.

First Tank

First fill-up was a couple days ago and it only came to 25MPG but I figure the engine needs to be broken in a bit and I do all city driving

This weekend we are filling up the gas tank again and going on the highway til it runs out and putting a Cruise Control at a steady 65 mph

I'll post again to what the outcome is.

you shouldn't use your cruise control until at least 3000 miles. let the engine break in before you run it at a steady RPM for any length of time.

Ever since I've gotten my ScanGauge and then had my first oil change, my fuel economy has gotten to the low 30s. My last tank was apparently 31.8 MPG in city/freeway mix. Go me!!

Also, I do a fairly even mix of city/freeway driving. Dallas traffic can be tough.
