  2. I spent $3.96/gallon to fill it.
  3. Thanks, Mr. Jett. Overall first tank was 43.8. Looking forward to even better numbers as the miles accumulate.
  4. Ah yes... interior COLOR... whatever happened to that?
  5. Yeah... Jatco. My Patriot's transmission came from that place.
  6. This is what it feels like when I downshift from 6th to 4th to pass someone on the highway ... relative to how it felt in the Patriot:
  7. caddycruiser, I love the Annapolis area. When I lived in Easton, I was over there most weekends.
  8. I understand the '14 model does away with Jalapeno and goes with Lime. The 2LT gets signal lights in the mirras. And the 4-speed auto option goes away... replaced with a CVT.
  9. Black Solstice with red and orange Trans Am screaming chicken decal on the hood.
  10. Some kind of efficiency system on the new Datsuns. Mazda has "Skyactiv", Datsun has "Pure Drive". I dunno.
  11. Thanks, Mr. Dart. I always thought you were a nice chap.
  12. Shoot, the Encore needs to be on the ground, not held aloft. If people get in it, they'll love it.
  13. On Facebook? Yessir, the DIC was recording numbers that high on a 4+ hour, mostly 4-lane highway road trip on Saturday. I filled the tank for the first time with 525.1 miles on the trip meter, did the math, and ended up with 43.8 MPG overall for the first tank of diesel. I really am enjoying "throwin' coal". Facebook, eh? Mr. Dart, let's hug this out.
  14. Thanks, Camino. This is the first time in I don't know how long... that I've wanted to just get in and drive.
  15. First tank. Stopped at 525.1 miles and filled it up, still could have driven my commute 2 more days, per the DIC range readout. With math: 43.8 MPG. Happy as a clam.

  17. yo CLETE, have a good one sir.
  18. Well Drew, I do have a history, BUT, I always go into a purchase planning to keep the vehicle. Maybe this one will do the trick. Yup reg, those are 17" wheels on there. They're easy to clean. I like the fuel mileage readout that records your daily average. For Saturday's road trip to Maryland, it was 51 mpg. I'll need to fill it in the next few days... at some point, and I'll post. I'm very interested to find out if the DIC is accurate.
