I certanly hope the worst case is not true!!!. Not sure how far my
warranty goes and don't want to find out!! 
Just out of curiosity, what kind of fuel economy are you seeing? I drive
mostly freeway in rush hour - average speed for the last tank was 39 and
MPG was 24. And I don't spare the throttle!!! Not bad for a car with
this performance!!
