I looked on the ABC 5 webpage and I couldn't find it. There website isn't too user friendly.

Your mileage is fantastic. The best I've gotten is 44, but my 25 mile commute is half in-city miles. Anyway welcome.

Still waiting for mine.

Estimated ETA Date: October 2008 to December 2008

We'll be chasing the beavers throughout Beaverdale and getting strawberry shakes at Snookies hopefully.

:woohoo

Thought I was the only one really getting good mileage!! On day one... driving home to Ottumwa from LaVista, I got 50mpg!!
I even average just about 46-48 mpg on those hot days traveling home from NE, with the air on!!

You should try it with out AC I made a little swamp cooler to run off the power port works OK keeps the inside about 72 deg when it 90 + out I'm glad I have dark tint on the windows. The sun betting in is not nice.

I got a call from Lavista Smart Center regarding Orphans, in case someone else is looking to them for an orphan. My DDE says I'll get a car sometime between Jan-Mar 2009. Basically they said I'll probably get the car before I get an orphan. People in this region are holding onto their reservations and not giving them up. Just an FYI. I'm into them for 13 1/2 months now, might as well wait for the snow to fly...!
