I am very happy but I always have the itch to go mod-crazy in no time lol..

for example, right now I am really having a big itch on getting back into car audio..

Lol, triple post!

Hey how is the gas in yours? You have the v8 in it correct?

They say 14/19 IIRC. Just wondering if you knew where yours was at?

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

yeah 14/19

but actually my MPG reading is showing that I am at 13 MPG right now.. I got half tank left so maybe that will change if I go through whole tank or go on highway more..

I ve been driving around city, have not gone on highway except for this morning when I got on highway for 5 mins to get to that tint place..

Seems the reviews are so different on these. Some say they get 11-18 and drive it like a granny and others say they get 17-22 and drive like a bat out of hell, even though they are estimated at 15/20.

I got a serious leadfoot so might be part of the reason that it is at 13 MPG lol..

but I ve noticed that the less I have to stop the vehicle, higher the MPG gets..

yesterday I was on a road where there are plenty of stoplights so I had to stop continually and MPG was at 12, it dropped to 11.8

and then today I took another route where it is 55 MPH zone all the way without any stop.. It went up to 12.5 and then now just hit 13

I think it would make a difference if I went thru the whole tank to give it more amount to determine what is the average, 1/2 tank is hard to justify for MPGs

Yep....mine gets bout 15 to 16 in city

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

I would say you should get more mileage than just 15-16?

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Actually they say the v8's are more efficent and do just around the same as the v6 or better. Check the reviews.
