• Did rising gas prices have anything to do with your decision? Where there any other influences?
I have always been interested in getting good mileage. The 02 Infiniti Q45 has a 2.76 rear ratio which helps keep the rpms low when on the freeway. THe car also has a low wieght for its class (3801lbs). And the ecm and tcm adjust to your driving patterns.
It was the perfect 4 door luxury road car to achieve better mpg.
• Have you made any other changes based to increase your fuel efficiency?
Driving smarter is the major change
• Did you get the parts for the modification on eBay Motors? Why?
I have part numerous parts (new & used)for the Q45 on ebay because of the protections provided to the buyer
• Did you enjoy the experience of purchasing on eBay Motors? How long have you been a customer?
sometimes the search process doesnot weed out enough stuff. But all in all it is enjoyable. 6-7 yrs.
