Mine pulled down 30mpg highway, I'd have another tomorrow if there were a need/justification.

I like the whine.I don't need a gtp. It would be cool but I'm putting on 1500+ miles per month on for work and most of the time I'm doing 15-25 stops a day so the minor mileage hit adds up pretty quickly in town.
I'm one of those guys who should be able to get great mileage in most vehicles but unfortunately I don't. Heck, one of my duties is teaching defensive driving. Our Yukon with 3.42 gears pulled 12-15mpg. Our 2000 Suburban gets 10! I expected both of these vehicles to be better. My wife pulls upper 30's out of her civic on the freeway and I pull low to mid 40's. I've seen people quote 20 in town and 25+ on the freeway with gtp and gt grand prixs. I'll probably get 14-18 with my luck...Mine pulled down 30mpg highway, I'd have another tomorrow if there were a need/justification.
I get 18 ish in the winter. Long warm ups and lots of idle time. This last tank has me at 15. But it's sat running at the firehouse in snowstorms for an hour while I went on a call so it could thaw out for the drive home.I'm one of those guys who should be able to get great mileage in most vehicles but unfortunately I don't.

The brake issues that you've had are wonderful.I get 18 ish in the winter. Long warm ups and lots of idle time. This last tank has me at 15. But it's sat running at the firehouse in snowstorms for an hour while I went on a call so it could thaw out for the drive home.
Summer time I get 23-25 out of the thing. I have a good stretch of back road to work and then a series of mile apart stops. There are like 5 in a row. So it's mixed driving. If it was all highways I'd see close to 30 I'd bet. I haven't dared take it on a long trip yet. (If you've read this thread you'd know this is completely justified)

It blew two lines. My truck did the same. It's more been the repair this thing and immediately find or develop new problem as original problem is being finished up.The brake issues that you've had are wonderful.
I need to pay zzp a visit again. But I need monies first.Mine were OK. Initial response was good, not much after that. Car came with Carquest ceramics, not impressive. I swapped out for Hawk ceramics and new rotors and the car was massively improved. That was the same day I discovered the engine had some sort of death knock. Such a waste.
