But we should all be using 5W20, to get the best MPG. That is great news! MY MPG should be better, I thought since the car was a 2 seater it should...

    Sitting here snowed in in Michigan. I was wondering what would be the best tracks around the country have the ability to put the car through the paces? A lot of tracks are set up for first and second gear speed but you would never be able to top out. I would consider tossing the car on a...
