Repeated trip to ATL. GA. this weekend. Diddnt get complete economy again due to becoming lost "again" so I guess in my case a gps is a good economy upgrade lol. avg. first 1/2 up was 35.3 pretty good not great as Im sure hiway this car should hit a 38 or close.
economy back was also disrupted by a blowout right after fill up and I was very regularly up into the high 70s lower 80s but still managed a straight 34
Its not so impressive to most here but for a car that came new hitting 24outa the box hiway that is impressive while moving those speeds.
I wish I had the time to pick up the new 205 75 14s as I woulda liked to know thier results and could have avoided the Balding aged tires blow out too.
I say balding to me 1/8" tread is as said to others mabe not so.
The wheel disks havent shown a major gain IMHO other than quietness, the car sounds like I put it in stealth mode Im sure they did something from that alone but I have not seen solid 36mpg that I had expected.
