    :)Congratulations. Depending on your situation, your miles per tank will only increase. I've have two 2000 plus mile tanks in my first year. Even with more HV driving, my current fill up is at 1100 miles.

    Congrats on the new PIP!

    It gets to the point where you actually have to think about which side of the car the gas cap is on before you pull into the station :D

    And in NJ, it gives the gas station attendant two choices of where to try and stick the nozzle.

    Grats FireDoug,

    I just got mine a couple of weeks ago. I don't think i've has a much fun driving a car as this before. least not since my MGB back in High School.

    That 79 MPG from Temecula to Irvine over the Ortega (saw you're from Corona, so figure you know the area) almost freaks me out. Averaging 63 over all.
