If it held up that would free your money for other perhaps more interesting pursuits. 35 mpg doesnt get old. Unless there are other cars getting 50 mpg...

Hey, if you're only getting 35 mpg you're doing something wrong, LOL! I'm consistently getting 42-43 and I don't even have 1500 miles on my car yet!

Not necessarily. There are many factors to consider. Particularly terrain, fuel being dispensed at the gas stations (winter vs summer blends), ambient temperatures, all city vs mixed or all highway driving.

Besides the fact that 35mpg is still a hell of a lot better than most of the other cars out there. While 40+ would be better, can't really complain about 35 when others are barely making 30.
