I think it got plenty of "getting used to" time while making the cross-country trip of 1467 miles...haha.

On that note, what's up with the 85 octane gas here? Everywhere else in the country does not go below 87. Does higher altitude allow for lower octane gasoline?

Wow...what BS....prices are much higher (filled up in Indianapolis with 87 octane for 1.98/gal during my trip from PIT to DEN) and you are getting crappy 85 octane gas. I'm suprised there hasn't been an uprising yet.

Yeh, there is another one that came recently from Fort Collins.
...and I think there was another girl with one that took a flyer as she was leaving MC's and we were all arriving a few weeks ago...but she hasn't come back yet...do you guys remember if her car was the RS2? I think it was...
