Today I took MPGray in for her first (5k) service. The dealership is 120 miles away from my home. I took route 17 an exponentially more relaxing drive and left at 5:50 AM for a 9 AM appointment for state inspection, oil change and alignment check. Got there indicating just over 60 MPG, average speed probably high 40sto low 50s.
The only flaw on this car is rear wheel misalignment and it was outside the specifications particularly in total toe almost twice the maximum allowable. Everything seems to be settled in with no measurable oil consumption. The dealership experience could not have been better. Including this service and the original purchase of the car, I have spent less than two hours at Shirley Slack Mitsubishi of Fredericksburg and I have not one single complaint, as close to perfect as I have ever seen myself in almost 50 years.
I have confidence they will get the rear axle issue resolved and in the time, until that happens, I'll monitor tire wear religiously. So far the wear is not really measurable with my old Milton (made in Chicago) tread depth measurement gauge at 5k miles.
