    Not bad for a Rookie I think. Wish the controls for the windows and on the steering wheel had better lighting though. I LOVE MY CAR :)

    A wonderful beginning. I am impressed. It will just get better as time goes on.

    That is great. I'm betting it gets even higher with your next tank. I love your choice of colors.

    I haven't seen 49MPG since last spring. I've been above 60MPG all summer long.

    Re: control lighting: You'll get used to using them by feel though before long, but I see what you mean.

    As for mileage, I could never get above 50 or so until about 2000 miles or so. It does get better. I get mid 50's and I don't really work at it (i.e., I don't pulse and glide, I run tire pressure at 38/35, etc.) on a mixed suburban/highway commute. Road trips are in the 50~52 MPG range, even running 75 or 80.

    Not bad mpgs for your first 100 miles! I've been averaging 48.6 for the last 4 weeks running...hopefully it will help bring my all-time average talley up to the 48.0+ range again (see sig). Now that the weather in SoCal is finally cooling down, I should start seeing higher mpgs than I did in the summer as I was constantly running my A/C day and night.

    Pretty car! I like how bright it shines even at night! Hope you're enjoying it as much as I'm still enjoying mine!! :D

    And congratulations too!!
