Just turned 400miles. Averaging over mix use of city, mountain and highway of 25.5mpg.
The engine is better than my XM radio. I drove it from Palm Springs to San Diego with the radio off just so I can listen to the motor. The light clatter of the engine. BTW, why do diesels sound like this. When it up shifts it sound like there is some kind of turbo pressure release between gears? Coming to a stop it sounds like the turbo whines down, almoust sounds like the faint sound of a police car siren.
At one point I was taking off at a stop sign at a slight incline and it shifted between second and third as I was rolling the diesel pedal. I saw the traction control light flicker like I was breaking the falcons loose off the tarmac.
love it!
