Early MPG Report

Despite my what seemed to be a rather depressing post earlier, I am here to report that I'm ~50 miles in and my average readout in consumption has just nicked 44mpg combined driving in highway/city from the ~30mpg I started early with. This is from my ~20min drives to and from work. And it's not even summer here in the south, yet. I'm starting to get the hang of this car.

I will dealing with the finance dept some time soon to go over canceling the extended warranty and GAP (odd cause I never asked for GAP on neither the 1st and 2nd figures form redo...little sneakers). Get my car refinanced with a better interest rate and I'll be good to go for starters.

The MSRP amount for extended warranty here was a little over $2000. Nuts. I managed to get it down to 1500 but seeing that I can get it even better online is a great relief. Any bit helps.

This forum is a great service to not ripping peoples arms and legs off. I need to read into it a lot more.

 

I asked them if they could match the $990 I found but no luck. So, I got it canceled but I have to wait for the cancellation process to go through cause they already sent the forms off.

By the way, I managed to get a few more miles for highway/city combined. So, that makes it 45-46mpg. I made my first trip out of town today and I got 49.5mpg. Woot! I used to get bored driving at the wheel of an automatic but now it's fun to actually feel a challenge off the car. Eventually, I won't have to look at the Energy screen and can just watch the Consumption screen for my Average MPG.
