Hey Mike, You're still getting poor mileage on you 98 DX Hatch ??!?!

I'm getting about about 40mpg (about 650km per fill-up). The fact that
my 1.6L engine is always running throughtout the day (combo city/hwy)
and never gets a chance to cool down, does contributes to the above
average mileage.

Regarding the orginal post, A car that is over a decade old, is going to
have a very difficult time being broken in, for the winter. Most likely,
it'll just end up broken...
