    He's getting 39 in the worst stop and go conditions - delivering papers. So while 37 sounds good to some people for a festiva it's not good.
    Meh......... Granted I do stop a lot, but I drive about 70 miles in about 2 hours which means my average speed is 35.... I feel I should be getting better yet.

            No, but I will admit to "white nuckling" the last 10 miles and when I got out of the car I had to breath out so I could remove the seat cover from my posterior!:p

            Seriously, interesting stat between your fuelly and mine (or at least your former fuelly stat) is the miles per refuel. I'm over 400 and you were 330+ miles.

                      There is a simple reason for that.......My commute is 110 miles each day, and gas is $5.409/gallon in Vancouver, and only $4.099/gallon in sumas, WA (near my house in Abbotsford). So I never let it get low enough that I would have to fill up near Vancouver............If gas was the same price everywhere, I would be doing the same thing you were, lol........I would even keep an extra gallon in the car just in case, lol......

                      My new echo can go around 500-540 miles per tank, but the tank is 11.8 gallons instead of 10, lol.......

                      • Lol Green Car hasn't had a fill-up over 5.5 gallons since we got her. For some reason when she gets down past half a tank she starts choking and coughing, need to pull the fuel pump someday and see whats up, but as long as we fill up before half tank she does fine. Last fill-up was 34.3, no bad for an auto running around in the mountains with Mel's lead foot on the pedal lol and thats without correcting for the 155/80R13 tires. Now Festevil getting right at 30, thats a problem, even for a 4 speed on 155/80R13s running pizza. Thats why he's sitting in the driveway with no motor right now lol My clutch is going to be here today, so hopefully it won't rain too much tomorrow
                        No festiva for me ATM...

                          • my project today is installing a set of acura 3.2tl HIDs in a stock housing, pics to follow !

                            the goal is to have a nice set of lights that are not blinding to oncoming traffic and have a clean light spread
