Mileage update
The weather warmed up the past few days and after this afternoons fillup my MPG was back up slightly over 24.
As for the 7 speed, te car was quick, and powerful. I put slightly over 150 miles on it.At 80 the RPMS are considerably lower and it seems to use less gas than the 5 speed autos.
It had XM radio but I prefer my Sirius. No one it seems can explain to me why CNBC channel 129 on Sirius scrolls most active stock quotes and CNBC channel 127 on XM does not?
The dealer also mentioned the bushings in the lower control arms are wearing but they are still ok.
I have now made five round trips from NJ to Florida with my G over the past four years. The 2009 loaner was as comfortable as my 2006 and I wouldn't have a problem spending 12 hours and 600 miles behind the wheel in it.
