650kms and counting

Let's see, I picked up my 07 si, last saturday, drove into work everyday(from Woodbridge to Downtown), did some driving around one night, Fillied up once( $1.16/litre) and it hasn't even been a week yet.
Couple of things I notice about the Si.

1. Watch out for big potholes....almost lost a filling the other day.
2. Tempature rating on the 17" Michelins are "A", so when it's cold out, don't push the handling limits of the car. I noticed the back end is little light.
3. Why does the car hold the revs for a few seconds above 4k ( I know this but at this point it's just venting). Is this annoying anyone else as much as it is me?
4. The "premium sound system" is ok, but the engine sound system is way better.
5. Every cop I have seen has made Eye contact with me.
6. Lovin the car.........any track days planned this year for the GTA area?

Tha't s my update, Have a great day everyone.

what!? you got 650kms and counting on a full tank of gas from an 2007 SI? that's the one with the 198hp ivtec right? how many liters is your tank?

i drive a 2006 RSX type S and I get about 500kms tops before my tank is empty. i do have a CAI installed but i don't think that will make that much of a difference. the car is 210hp though, just a few more horses than the SI.

Bought the car, came with full tank of gas, burned that, thus I have only really filled up once. I wish I could get 650kms to a tank, only did about 430 to a tank.

I think he meant he only has 650km on his new civic.
