Thanks, and I too like the Elan' a lot. It is a mid-size now, and as I said for 15 bills out the door it's extremely competitive.
I don't know why Suzuki can't do better than 31 rated, it usually means the corporate technology is not quite up to snuff. I would hope real world MPGs would be closer to 34-35. CR got 36 highway in an Elantra they tested within the last year.
Funny thing, I wasn't even
trying for good MPG in the best tanks I got in my 04 3.4 Impala. I was running in eastern Tennessee in the middle of summer at 80-90+. They drive like Texans on that stretch of road, and at 80 you get passed like you're driving a street sweeper.
