Feels like my 2.5i is getting civilized, the ride isn't as harsh even
over lumpy streets, Even with raising the tire pressures a few psi
above what is recommended. Shifting out of first is getting easier and
quicker, and the seats aren't feeling as hard, and the lumbar area
doesn't feel like it is sticking in my back. Have about 2800mi on it,
and guess it is breaking in, being less hard or stiff.
I upped the tire pressures to try to improve mileage. Got 26 with
mostly conservative highway driving with the AC off, with lower
pressures. With the AC on and mixed driving, and not very
conservative, I only got 22mpg. Think I had some miles on the tank
when I upped the tire pressures. Have to give it a good test with no
changes, and see what it can do with the AC on, then in the fall with
it off.
