    Yeah, a 4-man rock band from the UK just all died when their rig went through a hole in a bridge and plunged 82 feet to their deaths. Be happy nothing horrible like that happened.

    Sorry about your accident. Maybe a dash cam is in order now? New ride looks nice. I moved from Midlothian to Fredericksburg.

    Thank you all for the positive wishes. Just curious, I just filled up for the first time since I got it and I averaged 31.5 mpg with mostly highway driving and some cold driving through town. Is this normal? And will it get better?

    From what I've read here, your fuel mileage will increase as you get more miles on it. It needs to get broken in and loosen up. You are also running winter fuel now, which always gets less mpgs. I'm sure others will chime in shortly.

    Probably wasn't all way filled from dealer.

    Generally speaking you need a 500-1500mi to break it in, and with cold and wind you won't be getting good MPG anyways.
