Couldn't agree more...but, yesterday was my second fill-up, so I had my wife write down the miles so I could due the calculations when we got home. I reset the "Trip" odometer at each fill-up for all my cars, just in case I do want to check the mileage. Well it was 21.9 MPG!! This is what my wife gets with her V-6 Lincoln MKZ!! Now I did have some highway driving (
+ 50 miles in 7th gear) mixed in with this, but there was a good bit of going through the gears getting up to 75 (give or take) pretty darn quick. What a fun car to drive....
