10.6 gallon tank. 10.6 gallon fillup. That was cutting it close! I got a 435 mile range, for 41 MPG. Interestingly the car indicated I was getting 43.3 MPG for that particular tank. It's a bit optimistic. I'm using the setting where Trip A is reset every time I fill up.

The driving was 75% city, 25% highway. I am running a sticky summer tire, the Dunlop Direzza 195/55R-15 inflated to 32 PSI. The grip and the braking response are confidence inspiring.

I fill up every week here on the East Coast. Sunday I squeezed a cool 46MPG out of the tank with a 9.66 gallon fill up. The cost was approx. $26.00.

I am actually pretty happy with the tires that came with the car, I don't know the brand off the top of my head but they really hold the road especially in stormy weather. I can't say the same for the Civic Hybrid I had previously.

I took a little trip. All total, I traveled 2656 miles. It took 52.7 gallons of gas. Average for the trip came out to 50.38mpg. I am quite happy about the trip. Car traveled very well, speeds from 70 mph on down. Over hills, mountains, down to sea level and then back to the desert. I reside in Las Vegas.
