I've been averaging 20mpg with combination of city and highway driving. Seems a bit better than my 3.0 and not at all bad for a such a heavy vehicle.

Love the look with the Space Gray. Makes it much more menacing looking! Now, I wonder if some nay sayers are going to accuse you of trying to make your 4.8 look like a lowly 3.0. :rofl:

I have Comfort Access and therefore no key was in slot. The steering wheel did not lock up. The car jerked to a stop, though. Just pushed the On/Off switch again and it started back up.
