I got a pleasant surprise on my first roadtrip in the X-Fire this past weekend...29.4 mpg for the the trip from Middletown, CT to Cortland, NY and back. I wasn't ******* the speed too much either, although there was a big NYS State Police presence on Route 17 Sunday afternoon.

I didn't expect this number and it made paying $4.15 per gallon for premium unleaded in upstate NY slightly easier to take. Tonight the 11pm local news is posing the question: "$5.00/gallon gas, if, or when?" Yikes

Perma-grin still plastered to my face with this car!
