  Whenever I hear '3 cylinder engine' I can't help but think of this:

  So, any idea as to why it is getting lousy gas mileage? How about looking into that?
  That seems a little bit more important than a momentary roughness while elves (sorry, an 'engine controller') are stoking the catalyst.

  I haven't ever noticed this "roughness" during cold starting, and it's been below freezing all week -- far below! Neither have I ever read of it from others on the North American Motoring forum, which includes hundreds of other F56 owners. Hmmm...

  Ugh! Well, drive THIS car, and that imagery will be dispelled!
