Hope you have e-mail notifications because this is an old thread. My S got hit by a rock from one of those dummies cutting grass at a car lot. Anyway got a bad chip in the paint and got check from their insurance. I'm thinking mine is a magnet for damage. I'm playing with the idea of selling and ordering an XRS so I can get the 4wheel disc and 5 sp automatic. On the MPGs I don't understand why they don't get the same MPG's as the 1.8. The XRS has a 5 sp auto with a lewer rear gear than the 1.8 and 17 in wheels. Seems like that should take care of the difference in engine size and the little more weight the car has. It seems your averaging almost 29 and I'm always right at 34-35 with similar driving conditions.

Is you MPGs still the same? How fast do you drive on the interstate/country roads and what pressure do you run in your tires. Also do you have additives in the winter gas??

Thanks
