I find 36 mpg's very hard to believe.
Nice looking car though.

Maybe he's so used to 0 mpgs in driving around SUV's....that it "seems" to him like he's getting 36 mpg. Someone should give him a call and let him know his odometer isn't working right.

36 MPG on a 116 SD: Maybe on an imperial gallon or when donkeys fly.

I have heard a pig fly, while listening to the Animals album by Pink Floyd.
