'96 Saturn sold, '01 Saturn finally on the road!

[Project84]

So I finally sold my '96 Saturn in an attempt to quickly come up with cash to buy my next motorcycle. Unfortunately it sold before I got ahold of it, but I did get a pretty penny for my '96. I intended to write this big sappy "goodbye" post about it with pics, but I realized that's a bit dramatic.

So I pushed the '01 Saturn SL1 out of the garage for the first time in a year since purchase... changed the oil, aired the tires up, put a battery in it and drove it to Cleveland for my spring visit.

First gaslog entry: 43.9 mpg! Very very pleased with this! I ran the tires up to 45 psi and kept a watchful eye on the speed, I bet my highway average was 58-60mph for that tank.

I'm not expecting my next fillup to be as rewarding, it had a 100mph pull in it (just wanted to see if she'd do it.... haha) and lots of city driving back and forth to work already.

I love these cars so much. S-series are awesome.
