Forgot to mention this... Since the dealer only put 1/4
tank in for the prep, it wasn't long until I heard the
little <ding> and saw the gas tank light. Stopped to fill
it up (89). One thing I hate about the Exploder, mileage
is about the same as the Dak will be (about 18-19). It
doesn't have an idiot light for gas (ok, I'm the idiot).
Been more than one time I've gotten to the gas station
on vapors because I didn't look at the gas gauge until
it was almost too late.
