That bites.

I hadn't driven the car since my last report, but was curious to try it on a highway run. I borrowed it this week for a 400 km (~240 mi) round trip to Montreal.

The route was about 75% freeway at the 100 km/h (59 mph) limit, 20% on scenic routes around 80-85 km/h (~50-55 mph), and 5% city driving.

4.7 L/100 km = 50 mpg US = 60 mpg Imperial.

Not horrible, but not super impressive either. (Reminder: EPA rated at 40 city / 45 hwy / 42 combined)

And no recals.

I'd like to take it for a speed vs MPG run sometime and log that info.
