Red-Nice job breaking up the Civic/Metro dominance of the Top 10 MPG

Ty- Yeah, but WE think 95 in the shade is HOT!!! My new aero mod should bring my numbers up a bit, for a while. As with you, 50 is my magic number for the winter. Supposed to be warm, here, for the next 5-6 days. Probably the last warm weekend of the year(70's).

'Train- You might jump over me this fill. In friendly competition, everyone wins

not this time. I have not checked tire pressure since the weather changed so thats on me. the other thing is that the winds have been high a few days. enough that it was pushing the car into the next lane. if i would have let it. maybe next week.

Thanks for joining Team Toyota deathtrain, we are now one position higher. Today I had a revilation while driving my gas guzzeling van. The right side wiper was 'Kaput' so I desided to install a smaller one I had in the van. Then it occured to me that for those of us not willing [...of questionable gonadal suficiancey...] to remove wipers the intermediat alternative was to install the smallest wipers you can find. this is a quick fix that is available to all. I have found 10" wipers and 13" higher quality wipers. What I plan to do is instal the smallest wipers that keep the central windshield area clean.

yup i was right my tire pressure was at 20psi and not max at 35. i got my air compressor working after work today so monday and today sucked on mpg and on my EOC.

D'oh!

I had two screws in my left front tire during the last rally I was in. I feel your pain. Makes the ride feel... like it's dragging.

[deathtrain]

oh yea it was a big difference today...

[deathtrain]

well new personal best I should have checked tire pressure long time ago.

Congrats on joining the top 10. We [Toyota owners] have moved like a wave into the top 10. Not only that but we are now ahead of the Honda team. My next refuel will get redyaris up to ranking 5th, in mpg after which, redyaris mpg ranking will make a slow decline as winter advances. I hope I can keep my winter mpg above 50 mpg in order to get to the lifetime average to 50mpg.
