Can it be hacked for more gas mileage in town? The *only*
disappointment I've had so far with the thing is what I guess you
would call the "city" gas mileage. We just drove to Wisconsin and
back via Chicago, so I can say that I'm perfectly happy with the
performance of the thing. I had also never had a car with cruise
control before. Man, was *that* ever a lot of fun on I-39...
It would be nice to have a line-in to the stereo on the dash, though.
(There are do-it-yourself plans for that mod, but the other part of me
says to put it off until I can get a head unit with HD radio and the
hard-disk-based MP3 player built-in.)
