By the way, 17.2 mpg for the weekend...

This was on Premium fuel used since day one.

The car started off at around 15 mpg for the first few days, for what will probably be around town mileage.

I must say that this is lower than what i expected, but I guess we all make small sacrifices here and there for what it is that we truly want in life...MORE AND FASTER TURNS!!!

First tank of gas was just over 16 for me. I sure hope this gets better as I get out of the breakin period and don't have a need to keep changing gears every few minutes on the freeway. At this rate, I'll be filling up every 2-3 days.
