We just passed 3000 miles on our Fiat- so Monday it goes in for the free oil change ( free service for 36K). Our gas mileage has been around 31-33 combo city/hwy- . A 450 mile trip to Orlando last month got us 39.7 mpg- we have the six speed automatic. My wife says her Fiat is the best driving car she has ever driven. It's just plain fun to drive.

wha happened?
Belive it or not, I hit 9000k. Had the 2nd oil change a few weeks ago. I know I get good mileage on the highway, but when we blow out to Vegas, the traffic is going 80-85 so the mileage suffers.

80-85mph
Everyone is in a hurry to get to those nickel slots. My sr-in law won $800 on penny slots- I never knew they still had them in casinos! I noticed that my mpg really drops off over 70mph- so I try to keep it at 65-68 and let everyone pass me.- speed limit is 70 on our interstate

wha happened?
yep that seems to be the magic number, 70mph and the mileage stay pretty good. Unfortunately on the 15, people will run u over at that speed. The engine is smooth and the cars is fairly quiet even at 80-85.
I did have a funny experiance last time at The Flamingo. Our car pulled up in valet, and we had our usual luggae, a suitcase for me and 3 for my wife, and one shared. As people stared at the 5 large pieces of luggage and all the other crap my wife had bought, I openned the back hatch and flipped the rear seat down. I tossed the bags in and we jumped in and ran off. All that stuff piled in looked like a clown car

wha happened?
it isn't because of my looks or steller personality.
I can;'t help myself, but I've already have a new exhaust and intake set up for the FIAT. I'm waiting for the software update to install it all. I saw the finished product at SEMA. With the three updates they are claiming 130hp to the wheels. Saw the dyno results

I may never have to buy another car again
Only because Armagedden will be here in a few months and we can take whatever cars we so desire.
