51 mpg on summer gas, more like 45 on winter gas. :-(  It really shows 
the difference.

So far, I haven't driven it on snow, it was okay on ice-slick roads and 
gravel. Does just fine plowing through big puddles (Oregon, you know 
...), doesn't aquaplane. I bought it Michelin tires designed especially 
for it once the new-car tires wore out. (They tend to wear out fast, 
new-car tires.)

It seems very stable, and the steering is nice, which tends to be a 
Toyota trait. You have to use the defrost a lot in rainy weather, or the 
windshield fogs up.
