I drove mine out to Ohio for my cousin's wedding a couple years ago and averaged almost 26 mpg

BTW, the water leak is from the cowl...google it, leaves and stuff plug up the cowl drain (located under the plastic cover at the base of the windshield), water accumulates and will eventually get into the car through one of the HVAC openings.

Welcome!
Being auto I'd bet that it's probably 3.31s unless previously changed out. Do you plan to keep the chrome wheels?
