I'm a Devils fan, so not sure I share your enthusiasm. That being said, I feel the Devils last chance is this year, if Brodeur stays healthy now that he's back.

I actually spent my teenage years in Oakville (and my parents still live there). I'll keep an eye out for you.

The short fill-ups are particularly nice now that I'm driving my son to and from daycare. He doesn't get left alone long enough to start fussing!

Use the MPG meter with the display button on your steering wheel. I'm sure you already know that.

Try this out... accelerate to the intended speed. Before you read the intended speed, let go of the gas and then depress it again (but not depress as if you were accelerating). See if you can get better mpg. You can drive spirited too and use the same method.

it's nothing scientific but who knows what the result really is...try it.

I agree, its very surprising to me how much lower the gas mileage is on the GS than my previous ES.

ES isn't direct injection... not to mention ES has one of the best MPG's in it's class
