First tank is in the log! These things seem to have large tanks, too. Next tank will see a few longer drives, and tire pressures bumped up a bit.

My Dad still lives in West Central Wisconsin, so I'm familiar with the typical weather/ driving challenges. A few thought of the car. Its been a while since I drove one as a rental, but I consider the suspension to be on the "too soft" side for that weight and size vehicle. Have the car re-alignment done a good local shop with the newest hunter alignment equipment. And even if it is within the "good range" for tire alignment spend the extra $$ for camber bolts if its not "spot on" aligned. It will save fuel and tires in the long run.
I may be a little bias after my GM experiences but I always felt GMs automobile line-up for Cobalts, Lumina, Monte Carlos handled more like CUVs in terms of suspension rather than the more crisp spring rates of a Ford/Toyo/Honda

It is a bit on the soft side, but to be honest I rather like that (especially given the quality of the roads on my commute). Unfortunately, the tires on it ride poorly.
Really though, a tad above Buick-rowboaty would be fine with me.
