It's been a while since the last post! After a very nice and long weekend, I filled up this morning:
327.3 miles
17.721 gal.
=18.5 mpg
It looks like the mileage is slowly, but surely improving as the engine breaks in (I just passed 4200 miles). Good thing, it's getting juts about impossible to find gas below $4/gal.
BTW, my XM trial subscription ended a couple weeks ago, but I can't say I miss it much. The radio is mediocre and getting the best of Sirius package to get Howard Stern and other more noteworthy shows requires a ~$16.99/mo. package. With available HD radio w/ simulcast, as well as the iPod integration and MP3 CD/DVD 6-disc changer, it's really hard to justify a paid XM subscription. I've also found XM traffic too slow to respond to changes. It's a nice idea, but given the costs, to me, XM seems like a waste. More cars need to adopt the free FM-radio based traffic info like the ones on the Garmin portable nav units, but I digress.
