With just a little restraint 23-25 should be the norm in El Dorado County. With an 18.5 gallon fuel tank, highway cruising until a near empty tank would require a motorman's friend. Stopping power is provided by four wheel disc brakes with antilock as standard equipment. They are more powerful than the engine and their feel and modulation are excellent. The price of admission is actually down for the 2000 when you consider the extra standard equipment.
Competition is a wonderful thing.
It always amazes me that destination charges are the same whether the dealer is across the state or across the country from the factory. It includes side impact airbags, heated front seats and mirrors. That's a personal preference as the standard cloth in the SE is incredibly nice. It's a lot of extra money for the white and blue badge and rear wheel drive. This car is much too sporty looking.
