Okay.

The 18's are worthless on fresh marbles. Looking forward to the new studded 225/50 R17 Goodyears (on wheels weighing 11lbs less each!).
Even still, if the tires can find an un-marbly path they allow considerable grip, which surprised me. But I'm sliding most of the time........

Last tank Gulf premium 25.8 MPG; this tank I'm on will be better.

I got alotta the stupid stuff out of my system with the first one, so I think my underbody panels are still intact.

It then showed "330".
I think if you reset the PG counters when you fill up and then drive it easy or take it on a long trip, you'll see the DTE at a much higher number. The key is the reset.

So I had to take a quick 40-mile jaunt yesterday morning; that tank of Mobil premium returned 22 MPG (147.7 miles, 6.705 gal).
Ouch.

But I did make it in 36 minutes.

Some weirdities:

The tires are wearing evenly.
Hitting a sharp-edged bump 'rings' the whole car.
This windshield is as hard as the last one.

Had its oil changed and new air filter on 10/15 (my birthday, coincidentally) at 30,005 miles.
Ahhhh.

Last few tanks ranged from 26.1 up to 29.2 MPG, Mobil premium.

Since I service my Kizashi solely at the dealer, I assume, as before, they've installed Suzuki filters.
