Guess the 2nd gen rules the mpg world-
And I am ready to fuel the body with some Londoner goodies tomorrow. Happy bday E$ in case I forget to mention it.

How do you guys do that?! I feel that my TL is doing absolutely horrible. I just filled 14.269 gallons after driving 260 miles, 95% city. I've already inflated my tires to 36 psi front and back, emptied trunk, and made sure I stay below 2500rpm. When I first purchased the car back in 8/08, I could drive about 300 miles mostly city before the light would come on but now it's around 260 to 280 miles. The cabin a/c filter has been changed at 45k and as I recall the mileage didn't really improve much then either. I plan to replace cabin a/c filters once again at 60k, currently at 58800. Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys!

Happy Birthday E-money/tang/scrilla/asauras/gator/pincher/boob!!!
Wish I could make it out, but I strained my LT ankle running wednesday night, and it's been a bitch pushing in my clutch, so I can't make the drive. AND my niece's B-day party is sunday, she'll be 3
AND my dad will be in town, and you know his Birthday is 8/1 too... Damn all you early August people!
Have a drink for me and snapper-pus! I'll see you guys soon though!

I've been able to get ~35mpg on a recent trip to austin this year.

I tell my wife I need to do more mods that will save gas.

OK guys, what do you think about this one? What are the going prices? What do you think a good selling price would be?

It's automatic, I prefer manual in our cars.
I'm also not big on light interiors especially if you are going with the black theme.
I like the setup on the car with the rims.
just my 2 cents.

and Silver, I loved the sound of your exhaust as you drove by, so I hear that it helps with the gas mileage . . .
Oh, pmptx and E, go to the Innovative Mounts thread and drop a post on how bad you think the vibrations are. I'm going to point IM and Excelerate to those posts so they can hear from others and not just those who have them.
