Interesting. This car has not had a monthly fuel economy report since 2 months ago, and at that time it was 4 (four) mpg below the EPA combined fuel economy. Also, the car is again running about two thousand miles below plan if they are to drive it 20k miles in 12 months.

So, this little drive solves two problems...it gets the miles back up toward what they need to be, and it provides some artificial stimulus to the fuel economy number, so Edmunds doesn't have to report that it gets lousy fuel economy.

Hopefully for Mr. Martinez' sake he won't be on a lot of concrete roads.
