Im afraid to use it as a DD but now after reading all of the posts, what am I afraid of...
Since I will 99% sure that I will never mod it ( Ive never modded a car ever) I shouldnt worry...why did I buy that new Mazda 2 for a DD....well it gets 36+mpg average....maybe i shouldnt have bought the M2 although it is a very fun lil car.

i run it at 35psi daily.
How in the world do you get 260 a tank on e85.. I see 200 IF im lucky and ***** footing it.
