    The Persona in Blizzard only came with black interior. Come to think of it, all Persona's come with black interior.

    Those are the stock wheels that come on Persona. Bascially the Five's wheel in black chrome.

    My AC is always on and set to 75. I am averaging 51. Was 53 until last winter. The car hates cold windy days.

    Well, I am running 38 psi front and 36 rear. What are you running? And mine stays on eco mode full time.

    Wrong? 43 is still in the realm. Driving style and terrain seems to dictate mpg from what I read here.

    Same with me... 41.7 mpg for first three fuel ups (fuelly) going up and down a long, steep hills with short trips at the bottom and I was very jealous of the 50+ mpg everyone seems to get. Yesterday I went to OC on the freeway and got 53.5 mpg for 170 miles (probably about 51 mpg). That made me much happier!

    I saw my second black cherry pearl persona since I bought mine on 4/5.

    Inflated tires to 40psi as I kept in my GenII. Drove to Vegas and back yesterday with my wife and two of her friends and averaged 42.2 with AC on the whole time, averaging 80mph. Cost me $25 to fill up before I drove back. I wish gas was $3.45 in Cali.

    This looks like about $1000 less than I am seeing in the Midwest. What dealer?
