Haha that's for sure

I waited 5min there for my friend but owner didn't come
Guess he forgot the trunk open, I was going to ask him if it's a special edition or not hahaha

14
That's beyond my level haha

Building a PC is the best way, especially if you are gamer
I don't think I will touch this one though
Just bought another one for cheap...

No
Dad haven't seen it yet, not mom.
But I say doesn't worth it.
MDX is at 60k right now, and no payment left on it.

Why waste $700 more every month, and the car just came out with all new engine, tranny, body, everything!!!

if we have to sell the MDX, trade it with Audi allroad
But he says no to wagon

Well, for only 17 miles, I did
Who else gets 280 miles with 15.3 gals on TL and I am doing mostly highway

My exact thoughts... I love the bare naked look too but covers look great

this weight loss shit if definitely paying off for me LOL....i used to get ~300/310 miles/tank ALL CITY...now I get 350/360, if I shift like i used to @2200-ish rpm, I can bet i will get another 15-20miles/tank....

highway mpg is pretty much the same...33-34 is what i used to get and is what i get now....

Damn

Most I got in city was 250...at mostttttttt and with driving like a normal human being

Sometimes I hate highways here, slopes are too much
Especially on the way to NY, your speed is like 60, and RPM sits at 2500ish for 20 seconds
not only slope, and it's also long drive

^^^ haha yup

what I do is when I see a slope coming up, I speed up....so image if am going 75 and I see a slope coming up, I speed upto 85 and let the car slow down to 65-70 by giving it less throttle on the slope up....then speed back upto 75 on the downhill

aah...guess I am doing is partially right

but 800 miles in 24 gallons is just AWESOME !!!

However, I have gone 525 miles in 17 gallons which is ~31mpg and if I had 24 gallons, I could have done 744 miles....hmm....me likey !!!

Meko, also when you want more gas mileage, shift early (~2200rpm), and coast to stops and easy on the gas pedal....I bet you can get better gas mileage....no fun doing that but well LOL

Dammmit not again thought I was posting on car photo of the day thread

Yeah noticed it that you are doing around the same mpg but that thing is tank A8 haha

Easy on the gas pedal at start makes a lot of difference
