Since I switched to Toyota... havn't had any major problems, including the rust ordeal lol. I do like the OBD2 for the instant mgp abilities, and the scanners are much easier to get for them. |
we have to plug our OBD2 cars into the computer at the inspection station
(this is once a year)
the problem is the if you just cleared a code the thing will rat you out
you will be told to come back in 200 miles to see if it shows back up.
i had a 2003 corolla & did get 40mpg with it combined & i was moving rite along when i was on the highways if i remember
i think i could have gotten a solid 43 to 45 mpg with it by just making a few small changes to the way i drove it. i ended up selling it when i was driving tractor trailer coast to coast
i was never home to drive it anyhow.
i got some numbers from my 94'
361 miles driven 8.877 gallons used till the fuel light came on
so 40.66 mpg. about 70% of that was city driving so i would say those are dam good numbers.we also have some hills around here too.
i have slowed down to about 60mph from 65 on my drive to work.
i gave 55 mph a shot
but i had so dam many tailgaters & blowing horns from these Massholes that come up here on vacation & want to drive 80mph everywhere they go. i figured it would be best atleast for now to go with 60mph. i guess i need a big sticker on the back of the car so they know what's up.........?
take care
