Nice around town. Good mileage. All that jazz. But the fuel tank is TINY! Only managing about 300 miles on a fillup sucks when you're driving cross country and don't like stopping all that often. Otherwise, the seats were comfortable and the car performed flawlessly, as expected.

5038.4 miles
166.88 gallons
30.192 mpg

Was gone for two weeks. Stops:
Simpsonville, SC: Helped my dad finish moving into his new house.
Portville, NY: Finally met the people from the performance shop I've bought a few parts from.
Mason, OH: Visit with old college buddy and another friend who moved out there a couple years ago.

Oh yeah. Gas prices suck in AZ, but not as bad as NM. Cheapest was Oklahoma. Even western New York was cheaper than Phoenix prices.

Box now has almost 15,000 miles on it. Hmm... Time for an oil change.

Default no trip car?

300 miles sounds like time for bathroom break

Wow thats a lot of driving! I am not sure I could drive home and back (to MD). Its easier to fly...even though I really dont like it.

The tC- or at least mine gets about 320-340 miles to a tank but after that much driving its nice to stop to stretch. I didnt add up the gas lol I think I would have been sick!!
