Default My first week driving...

Well week one came to a close last night, and wow was it a good week. The odometer reads 448 miles, i put on all but 54 of them. I filled the tank once, i went 290 miles on 13.5 gallons. The car says i am only getting 20.8 mpg, but it's more. Also, i am happy that the break it time is almost over. Once that is done i am going to start making the turbo work.

Lastly, did anyone else who didn't have a long work commute drive that much in their first week?

Default I'm not sure about exact mileage in my first week, but...

I know it was excessive, compared to my short commute. I looked for any reason I could to go drive. Hell, I still do that!

Default Re: My first week driving...check oil consumption when you fill up

Mine used about 3/4 quart during break-in, not much since.
