No this will most likely be seeing the autocrosses.. might try it once... we shall see.
Got this to keep the miles off of the cavalier, and help build credit!
$287 a month, 34 mpg (so it says) and only $30 more a month in insurance to have both cars on!
its a good deal!

If someone puts an average of 10k+ miles/year on a full-size truck or SUV, the difference in fuel expense would pay you to operate a car like this for a good four or five months of the year. I'm surprised more people aren't in these cars.

260 hp + D.I. + 10.5 C.R. = 34 hwy, 26 city (actual). I heart my dub.
In any case you are still on break in lube. Quite a few people report a bit better milage after the factory oil comes out with the first change...
Side question: What's the oil spec for that car according to the manual?

Penzoil Platinum Full-Synthetic seems to perform well, also. You may like to, as I do, read people's results on bobistheoilguy.com. Great place to spend time on the internet!
