Also- What octane gas is everyone using? I'm sure the dealer filled mine with 87. I filled it with 89 for the first tank so I'll see if that makes any noticeable difference, too...

93 might make more of a difference, I may try that for the next tank full. Probably hard to say, though, since it's still breaking in and I'm still getting used to the car.

super small world, I live in Pittsburgh too, but I grew up in Monroeville

I have 1,553 miles on it. I can watch the needle move driving to work.

glad I'm not the only one....I'm getting like 13 mpg and I really do baby it. How I drive doesn't seem to affect it...I can skip shift, I can shift low, I can shift high and it still stays in that general range. annoying indeed

Not that the difference in MPG would make the added cost worth it, but as a general rule, is 93 better, worse, or the same for higher MPG? Assuming same driving style and car.
