Well I made my trip up there. The car is nice. Lot's of room, quite, comfortable ride but it is a brick. The transmission wants to down shift at the smallest grade. It takes a very light foot to keep it in 6th. Coasting was not the best in or out of gear. I did have about 30 minutes of rush hour stop and go and I did not add any fuel when I picked it up because the gauge was reading full. It was also cool enough that I could run without the AC.

Totals: 235.6 miles @ 8.3 gallons for 28.38 mpg. Looks like c0da got pretty darn close. W00T
