Well I made it 26 hours and 25 miles and got a CEL! Honestly I was kind of expecting this as some of these have been sitting in those massive parking lots not run for 2+ years. But my car was only bought back in June of this year and fixed in late August. Anyway the code is an injector contribution imbalance on #5. They will probably just try and clean it, light came on after leaving a restaurant this evening but I thought it had a bit of surging going on with the cold start this morning.

Good news is it was getting 25mpg average pure city according to the factory lie o meter for that 25 miles, that's better than my Forester ever did, or any other car I have ever had.

I will start a garage on ecomodder for this car, it's the first car I've had that seemed worthy. Plus with the EPA down-rating (19 city, 22 comb, 26 highway) I can probably beat that pretty easily.
