Is it illegal to hunt seagulls?

Yup! don't understand why though, there are so many of them, but they are protected as water foul. Cormarans too are illegal to kill, and they have droppings that are purple and acidic and can be very damaging to paint and boat finishes if not taken off asap. Got to love NY, its the land of "No," if its fun, stop it!!!

Pros:

5. decent gas mileage in town. It's amazing but my highway mileage isn't much higher. I get about 21.5 with a lead foot and 23.5 with a light foot in town

Cons:

1. Two rattels. One in the hatch which has been fixed and one in the drivers seat that I will have looked at next service.
2. The V-6's highway mileage is about 25 mpg.
TNblkc230wz, how many miles do you have on your car? My car has close to 8800 miles on it and I get terrible mpg. The computer, which has never been reset, shows that I average 18.6 mpg (it was 18.7 before I got an oil change). City mileage (as shown on "after start" screen) ranges from 17 to sometimes 19 mpg, while highway mileage after driving 20 to 30 minutes w/out much traffic is usually 19-20 mpg (on rare occasions, I may get 21 or 22 mpg). Does anyone else with a C320 coupe experience the same thing?

Also, I also hear a rattle that sounds like it's coming from the hatch area. Do you know what your dealer fixed? I'm guessing it may be the plastic panels next to the glass.

I find some squeaking noises too. Not sure where exactly the sound is coming from. Not a big deal but it is beginning to bug me...
