I took the tire pressures up to 38 all round plus we have summer gas in. My 2005 just hums on the highway in top gear. No way I'm sending this one off to college. I've got three clients in Rochester, New Jersey, and Boston active for 2015-16, so I'll be cruising this P2.

36 mpg in this ride is just criminal. My poor DC manager gets this in her Prius, without the luxury.
