My tanks average is 225 to 250 miles. Its true you use less gas when you cruise at a constant speed but at 85 your Eco is prob 16-17 mpg at least that what my 01
Tells me when I do constant 85 on the turnpike

washed it, now my fricking drivers side door is frozen.
The button pushes in, but it wont open.. Same from inside.
Its a 2door and right now the passengers side door is the only one that opens, so if something happens to that Im screwed.

Does the hatch open?

I'd be willing to bet that you froze the actual latch mechanism on the out side part of the door, its probably NBD and just needs to thaw.

Dang, you don't have a garage you could put it in for a couple hours?

The best I've got is a pot of boiling water to thaw it out enough to pop it open or a couple cans of that lock de-icer stuff.

Ill pry end up pulling the inside panel off and looking at it at some point... Maybe sunday.

The hatch is missing a linkage rod and the lever in teh bottom that pushes the latch over to open it is bent and screwed up.
