How much time spent in your TL?
Now that I have a trip computer, I'm curious about this issue for some reason. As of now:
Avg. MPG 21
Avg. MPH 33
Distance 2458 miles
Time: 75 hours 45 minutes
I haven't reset the trip computer since I bought the car. I am simply surprised how much time I spend in this car!
Interesting feature: The time is actually the amount of time the key is in the ignition, whether the car is on or off. The time actually ticked from :44 to :45 while I was in the car recording this info--the ignition was off.

I've been resetting it when I fill up to see the MPG during different situations. Ive been averaging about 23 MPG. The car has losened up nicely. Slight rattles that were present when new (like the one in the sun roof) have disappeared. I raised the tire pressure to 39/35 and I have left it there. It has actually improved the ride. Ride motions in broken pavement are a little sharper but otherwise all handling and ride characteristics are improved. The only problem I have is that the car forgets my settings if the seat is moved completely to the rear, otherwise no problems. The transmission has come around nicely, the slight notchiness that it had when new has disappeared too. These are things that you expect in any car with ten miles on the odometer. The more I drive it the more I like it. Compared to my TL-s and the new auto its a different level. I hope your expirience has been similar. It gets really tiring to read tirades about stupid little problems where a little jiggle is tantamount to cylinders exploding through the hood. Hope your enjoying your ride!

Greg, LOL!
Most of that time is spent driving back and forth to work and between offices. Someone's gotta pay for this car!
