Very Impressed: Top Speed and MPG!

I bought my Elite White 6M/T only 9 days ago and I already have over 700 miles on it. I love everything about it so far and it keeps impressing me. I've been averaging about 27 mpg with mostly terrible stop-and-go Sarasota, Florida city traffic with a few trips on the highway at 75 mph during the past week.

Last night I headed out to the 12 Hours of Sebring in the middle of the state with no traffic, no street lights, and two lane roads with mega flat straights. I figured it was time to open it up a bit and that's exactly what it did. I hit 140 mph on the needle and couldn't believe it! I'm sure there's a mph or two difference but I was jumping for joy. Fast forward to this evening on the way back from the track I reset my trips and used cruise control at 60 mph the whole way and got back yielding 38 mpg!

So not only are these things pretty fuel efficient but they're blazing fast. I didn't think 140 was possible with the aerodynamics (or lack thereof) of the front end. For those wondering 140 mph was top gear 5200 rpm.

Here's a few images I've taken since I picked her up. Haven't had too much time for a full shoot yet.



At the dealer: Hyundai of Bradenton is phenomenal and was on the phone for over an hour searching all of Florida for a white manual VT. I was willing to wait but they landed one and brought it to me from about 2 hours way
