MPG

Okay, the bad news is in - it looks like I'm getting about 7 miles per gallon in mostly city driving.

I was hoping for about 8-10 mpg in the city and better than that on the highway. Maybe that is too much to hope for - I think that these cars only got about 10 mpg when brand new (I'll have to check on that, though).

The car has a 26 gallon tank so it will go about 180 miles on a tank. I should mention that the owner's manual specifies premium gasoline. I'll let you do the math on how much it costs to fill up the tank.

I've been getting a strong smell of gasoline over the last couple of days (been driving it quite a bit over the Memorial Day weekend - weather has been great). So, I think that there might be a bit of a gas leak so I'll need to track that down sometime.
