    Hello all,

    Just got our new car yesterday and we are thrilled. Don't think I've ever been so excited about a piece of technology (not counting surfboards). Still trying to figure out the best driving techniques and have avg about 35 mpg over first 100 miles. Mostly around town driving. Perhaps the cold weather has hindered some of those 40+ mpgs I'm seeing posted. I'm sure that will improve with more highway driving. Looking fwd to learning and exchanging info here.

    Welcome both of you to the Magnetic Gray Club. The cold & the short trips are reducing the mpg. If you increase your tire pressure and block your grill you'll see better numbers.

    Just picked up my Magnetic Grey Package 6 a few hours ago.
    Umm. A little overwhelmed by the center console. And the NAV woman won't stop talking to me.

    Just have to acclimate to it all.

    I bought mine on Saturday, and got mag grey. My mechanic was as excited as me. He had read everything he could get his hands on about them but had never seen one up close
