so far the temp has been good. I have yet to sit in stop and go traffic, but it stayed the same as usual on the highway. Hopefully I'm never in any traffic to find out!

I took the car out on my 62.7 mile test route and achieved 45.4 MPG. My baseline for this route was 31.7 MPG which is an increase of 13.7 MPG or 43%.

Pretty good results!
