Maybe my DIC is off? Also I haven't tried a long freeway run since I had a couple hundred miles on the car. Maybe with 3500 miles it'll be better. (I hope).

On my daily commute I got high 18s on the 2005 and only get low 17s on the GS. The commute is 10 miles all on back roads with 15 stop lights and signs.
