Gas Mileage
I'm Averaging about 12.9L/100km in the warm weather, but I tend to jump off the line at red lights a lot. I should note that this is 100% city driving.

I have been aiming at hitting near 600km on 62L or so of fuel, with a 50/50 mix of city/highway with my M6 coupe.

Come to think of it, I have no idea what you picked up for a DD? What did you end up getting? Whatever it is, I am sure it was a big change coming from the Z4M.

- Free money from GM didn't hurt the decision either.

^ Sweet, I really love those Ian. I saw a ton of those over in Europe (Opel badged of course) and I thought they were a really sharp little car. Great choice for a little DD.

yeah, it's nice.
On Friday I was talking to the owner of our two Saturn stores here about the Astra. He mentioned the GM were what really got it kick started and that it is really a great handling car.

Tried to drive like a prissy ahole for 10 days and didn't enjoy the G much. Frig that. Now I drive it reasonably, no rabbit starts but let the dog run on the hwy and am back to lovin it.

or did your foot slip?
....damn that sounded sweet
yeah, yeah, that's it, sometimes my foot slips. I was adjusting my seat belt, there was only a limited space between oncoming traffic, just getting into the flow of traffic.Heck Ian, you're right, she does sound sweet.
Afterall it was at the end of a meat (pork).
