Newport Beach is ALL stop light to stop light. If you can get through two consecutively call it a great week, so every intersection you get it in the rear end by the City developers: There are lots of hills, many like Newport Coast drive, steep and start from a near standstill. First Fillup: 416 Miles on OD Power Mode On 100% of the time. Wheel Covers Off. Cons said 45.6mpg Got more accurately about 42+mpg, which I think under the above circumstances, is very damned good! Took exactly 10 gallons to fillup. No idea if dealer did this, doubt it. $2.99 = $30.00 Tires were all 10lbs low! I never checked when taking it from dealer, checked at fill-up and corrected. A/C on 80% of time. I drive with A/C like a crazy person... Driving mostly normally, occasionally peetering along in neighborhoods on 100mpg mode, but plenty of hard runs off stop lights. When I got this car, I figured with my lead foot, if I got 38 I would be happy. I am very impressed.
Third tank is a tested, hard running, hard off the line, not much a/c use (as it is getting colder now) 40.4mpg. I really hammered it keeping up with traffic, shooting up Newport Coast Dr (steep long hill) etc. I'm pretty impressed. I really drove er' hard this tank, intentionally, to see what would happen (and also because there's been significantly more traffic, and I don't want all these Bentley's and Porsches cursing me out.)
