Default New HCH in NY

Hi All,
I've had my HCH for a week today! I love it! I've got a blue CVT. We live in Rockland County, NY near the Tappan Zee Bridge. My old car was a 91 explorer - boy is this a change! I love my old explorer, but I'm looking forward to getting 45-50mpg for sure!
so far I'm getting 35mpg. Isn't it amazing that 35mpg can be a 'dissapointment'?? I used to get 15 in the explorer, but now that I know you can get 45+, I'm not happy with 35! Especially since I got 40 on a test drive (a different car at the dealer- he has 3 in stock) and I'm struggling to get over 30 now. I have a home office - so no commute, only little local stuff: driving the kids & instruments to school, groceries, etc - all <5 mile trips.
enjoying all the posts, dissapointed to find out that mobil is discontinueing 0w20 mobil 1, and looking forward to getting better at "the game"
see y'all around the site

KLC
