drive it in maunal mode and upshift when it lets you, you will get 19-22 MPG easy. That is what I have to do.

i was watching some racing in Memphis, just sitting in the stands and some kid came up to me and asked me to sign his shirt.

that was kind of weird. i had to say no, too weird.

I need to come down and get a ride in that G8 of yours Jim. I live about 80 miles west of you in Columbus. Maybe I'll switch cars with you when you aren't looking. Mine is white hot as well. I'm sure you wouldn't notice... :D
