I hadn't heard about the higher "D", but it makes sense because on my trip I appeared to be getting real good MPG, mostly just going 60mph for a couple of hours using the cruise. Since this would keep it in the higher gear, it makes sense.

Mine is not too bad, it tends to downshift to 1st gear when going slow around a corner which can be disconcerting but I have got used to it and just take it a little easier. But all the other crap I have been having from this dealer is not going to be accepted. Stay tuned for further developments.
