    Hey guys and gals,

    Just purchased a 2007 Barcelona Red and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! So far, I've only filled up 2 times and I've gotten 384 miles @ 43.8 mpg on 91 octane (never again from what I've read on here) and 402 miles @ 45.5 mpg on 87 octane (with one PIP left and not even blinking). Checked the tire pressure last night and it was low so I inflated to the recommended 42/40 and I'm optimistic that I will get better gas mileage on this tank!!

    I commute from Temecula to San Diego (Sorrento Valley area to be exact) which has its share of steep grades and is approx. 45 miles each way! None the less, I love my new car and this forum is GREAT!!!

    Cheers,
    Mark
