Yeah I think he drives on flat roads with no traffic!


My half tank was 230 miles this time.

My best was 248 mi, with maybe an overfilled tank or the lower grille being covered.

My best full tank was at 240 mi at halfway.

I believe it only happens on long trip. It is amazing. Go to LA from bayarea with less than 1 tank of gas?!

Nice. My best for the second mark (the one after full) is 116 miles. It seems to vary however.

Mine is similar to you. I think ROFL Box did a lot of EOC, right? My tank this time may not pass 40mpg since a lot of city driving and idle at lights. (My mom sitting next to me...)

I use to get worried when you said things like that, but now coming back to Florida would be a mission, so I have learned to sleep with both eyes closed again ...

Has anyone made a sign that says "keep arms in vehicle at all times" or something of that nature?

[xbUser]

hahaha.... I know, your passenger...... no, I don't have that sign and never see that before. But I would say, for his safety, I refuse start the engine. If the car is moving and he is not listening, turn off the engine and EOC. I believe he will be scared by that action. hahaha.....
