    I've seen $300 to add the spare(IIRC, Fiat 500). It is all about advertising, either lowest possible MSRP or highest MPG rating. The testing rules could have meant a worse MPG for the auto Fit, or Honda marketing felt the lower MSRP was better. GM went the opposite with the Sonic, only the lowest trim manual sedan lacked the spare. So the lightest and cheapest one was even lighter and cheaper.

    Yes, no way to diagnose the leak any more because there is nothing to debug !

    @HPrimeAdvanced good to see you again and dang that's a lot of flats. Talking about TPMS mine has had the dash light on for about 60k miles now. I've got a set of sensors for my snows but no way to update their ID's. I think the last 2 originals sensors I still have under my all seasons have run out of battery. So in a few days when I mount my other two new tires I'll have 8 unprogammed sensors. LIfe is good even with the dash light on.

    ps; do you still use some of your favorite driving tips and tricks or have you thought up any new ones?
