MPG!

Default Hi everyone!!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to just about every aspect of my car! I've never owned a non-US made vehicle or a hybrid before but I'm liking the MPG!


I really bought this car as a beater of sorts, even though it's new, it's going to get it's fair share of abuse. I drive nearly 130 miles a day in my commute and even more if I get called to go to various other locations!

It seems to fit me well enough and I think I'll be keeping it for a long time!! I'm sure I'll enjoy reading all the great info here on the forums!

Wow, I just read the FAQ for the Prius! I had NO IDEA that oil level could effect MPG! Very interesting information in here!

yes, air pressure has a noticeable effect on mileage. Too low and mileage goes down. Higher is better for mileage, but too high and you dont have good contact with the ground and your handling suffers.

GO EARTH!!

Hey Geoff! IMHO, dogwoods are very messy things. Can't go wrong with the good old Oak!

PS: Yes, air pressure is HUGE!
