Finally drove a "long" trip in my 2001 9-5 Aero!

As a self-employed person working out of the house, my Aero, purchasing in Sept/Oct of last year, has only 3,500 miles on it. But I recently drove to Portland from Seattle. Loved it. Some observations:
1) "sweet spot" seems to be 80 mph +/- 5 mph. At this speed, cruising is effortless, and the car seems happy. Also, when you need to pass, you don't have to downshift into fourth gear.
2) love the "AS" button on the radio. Press and hold, and you got the top six stations in the area. And, it doesn't erase your presets!
3) love the gas mileage plus the huge tank. Drove 200+ miles, never hit 1/2 tank yet.
4) *hate* the tires. Loud loud loud loud loud.
- Mike.
