Well I found that my f.m. reception was rather limited also. I decided on my last vehicle purchase that I would not drive enough to pay for the xm radio add-on. So I bought a mp3 player that would work in the vehicle. Now I traded both my vehicles in on a new 2014 GMC Sierra SLT and found my mp3 player won't work in the new truck. My old mp3 player is a sony without bluetooth so I tried to plug it into the usb ports and the radio in the truck can't find it. The dealer and salesman tried to get it to work and tried it in three other trucks on the lot and it just wont work. Funny how it worked in my Toyota Vensa, sons Ford Expedition and three other vehicles but won't work in my new truck. I guess now I have to go and buy a new Ipod to hear my music. I don't drive much, but the truck should be able to find a media device that has been found by two to three year old vehicles have found. Dealer had no opinion or clue of what causes this problem. I do like the XM radio but the cost is too high for someone that drives as little as I do. I guess I will just order a new Ipod and try and transfer the music from my MP3 to it. Unless someone has a better solution.

I understand that low temps cause a loss in gas mileage. The computer in the car is adjusting fuel air mixture for the lower temps and denser air going into the system so it adds GAS to even it back out. The thing thats hard to believe is the amounts of fuel I'm hearing on this site is it is a lot more than even I could dream of being possible. I guess that G.M. really did tune these for optimum fuel mileage.
