Welcome to the club! The flashing key symbol means that the car is searching for the key. If the car is going to be setting idle for more than a couple of weeks it is suggested that you disable the smart-key function.

Until the weather warms up it will be difficult to see the bigger mpg numbers. I went from the ~80 mpg/tank in the warm weather to ~73 in the colder weather.
