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.

I know, pretty pathetic for a "premium" product. I can't believe how flimsy that plastic is; I actually cut my finger on the edge when removing it because it was so thin and sharp. If it makes you...

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.
