first wash, first tank of gas.....

here is a photo of the first wash. i was suprised how dirty it got. i always thought that white car was don't show dirt. but i guess that was when i had the old school bmw where almost half of the car is black at the bottom. i was also told that the tire dressing the dealer used can really spray onto the car.

i got 12.4 MPG on my first tank. i really hope things pick up a little.... it is scary since i barely tap the gas pedal.

my first problem of the car included my left side rear view mirrow containing an area of imperfection. it is hazy under the surface and everything showed double in that area. my computer also states that my rear tires are 5+ psi on partial load. this is weird since all my tires have the exact recommended pressure. will have to visit the dealer for this.

otherwise, so far so good. i am getting used to the interior color since i always had black interior.

the tint is lighter than my preference, but had to settle for less to match the rear. that match is very good given the green in the factory tint.

canberk is infamous around these parts
first of all congrats...

Your mileage will probably increase, but not significantly. You'll probably see around 14-15mpg tops.

White car shows less dirt, that's for sure, I have a black pepper, it requires more care, hand washing etc..., white looks sexy though.. tan interior would go better with white, my opinion..

Tyre pressures are normal as you are newer on partial nor on full load, so average of both is good to go, also you could consider filling your tires with nitrogen, which will help you keep the pressures constant all the time no matter the air temperature is.
