My comments on the gas mileage; as commuters driven in less than an enthusiast manner we are getting 30mgs on the S and 41mpg on the non S. The S goes 18 miles per day, the non S goes 62 miles per day. Both in 45 mph traffic. Calculated old school by dividing the number of miles on the trip odometer by the number of gallons pumped in.
