Idle seems fine and almost inaudible.

Odometer was just fixed and seems to be correct, I look at it often and it is rolling over just as it should.

The tranny does a funny thing...after shifting into second, car accelerates as normal then hesitates for a few seconds before picking up again. It's like the car is falling back for 3 seconds or so. My mechanic looked the entire car over approx. 1 week ago, he drove it too because of the funny tranny, he says everything looks fine, car needs nothing, not even a tranny flush; as a matter-of-fact he was quite impressed with the condition of the car. But the shifting thing still bothers me. Since it does it at low gear, whatever it is, it might affect the gas mileage at low speeds...

Biking is not an option, college town with 35,000 students AND their SUVs, I will get killed. Plus my 70 lbs bulldog does not fit on my bike well.

5 gallons, 82 miles. I am still bummed out about it.
