They like to see you brining your car back to them for servicing... they make money and you get all your records in one spot. A great dealership can make bad situations seem not so bad... and on the contrary... a bad dealership can ruin your feelings towards a particular manufacturer.

I don't know if all dealerships are required to give you a loaner, but the little touches like that go a long way for me.

If it's mostly stop and go driving, with occasional highway mixed in, I get about 17 - 18 MPG, this is even with the mods that I was hoping would increase MPG a little. So far, I'm at both ends of the rated MPG on the sticker (17 - 24), with an average overall near 19 MPG.
