#309 of 391 Re: Issues with rela MPG [keithl] by johninnj Sep 01, 2008 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: keithl (Aug 31, 2008 6:36 am) I drive the same scenario and the same way for the most part. I actually find the average speed completely useless as 35 MPH for an hour will give you the same # as 70MPH for 30 mins....and stopped DEAD in traffic for 30 more. Too many variables. I still have no clue why I get better mpg on reg than premium from the same station with the same horrible ethanol in it.
#310 of 391 Crash by durangojay Sep 02, 2008 (7:42 am)
Well my trip back from Boulder was a disaater-lieratally. Hydoplaned off the road, spun twice down an embankment and into a treet. Multiple thousands of dollars in damage. No airbag deployment. Don't get that. But I was unhurt as the vehicvle took most of the force. But she will be out of commiission for a good month getting repaired. BTW my mpg up to that point was 23.3 for the whole trip until the accident. Sad ending, but I'm alright. Replies to this message: johninnj (Sep 02, 2008 9:48 am)

Replying to: durangojay (Sep 02, 2008 7:42 am) holy sh!t. how fast were you going? Is yours an X? That sucks...I hope you weren't staring at the mpg thing....I don't leave mine on "Instant" as I almost rear-ended someone once playing with it : ( Glad you're OK.

Only going about 50mph, but it was raining like hell and yes, I do have the X. But all the electronics in the car (world) couldn't stop this thing or control it. It took a tree. Thank God I have amazing insurance with a very low deductible, so I'll be back on the road in about 3-4 weeks. FYI, I was just driving along listening to the radio...then...WHAM off road into tree. Thank God I walked away....Thanks for the concern...Jay Replies to this message: johninnj (Sep 02, 2008 10:16 am) pscheid (Sep 16, 2008 5:41 am)

Replying to: durangojay (Sep 02, 2008 10:08 am) At least we can conclude the car is built well and safe. I crashed my old TL very hard and was 100% unscathed other than a mark on my wrist form the airbag pushing my watch. I praised that car for it's safety afterward...it was like 16k in damage. Nice to know these expensive cars live up to safety standards.

Absolutely!!! I don't care about the damage. We have a spectacular body shop here in Durango, CO and they will make her good as new I am sure. And I have great insurance with a low deductible, good decision there. But I am grateful that the carsh crumple zones worked well to keep me safe and sound. I'll repeat, I am VERY surprised that the airbag(s) did not deploy, but maybe I wasn't going as facst as I though when I hit the tree. It sure felt like they should have deployed!! But at $1,400 a pop, I guess I'm glad in a way they did not. I wouldn't be surprised if they damage bill was in the same neighborhood as yours - 15-20K. I don't think it's totaled. But what do I know? The body shop will have to tell me what is up. I was protected, that's for sure. I got a nice Dodge Durango for free to use until the vehicle is repaired. Should be 3-4 weeks, I'm thinking. Thanks, Jay
#317 of 391 Oh, and by the way... by durangojay Sep 04, 2008 (4:20 pm)
By the way, for what it's worth now...I was getting about the mpg I was expecting out of my car (my dear banged up car!)...23.3...oh, I stated that above. Sorry. Anyway, it could have been higher if I had not run the car a bit now and then and used the cruise to max advantage...as reccomended on this site...thanks...Jay
#318 of 391 Does using the sequential shift improve MPG? by luckylocky Sep 05, 2008 (7:59 pm)
I've been averaging around 24.4 MPG on my new G35x mainly on highway, using cruise control at 60 MPH. It's slow but i am trying to break in the car slowly and to improve MPG. When driving in city, i am using the sequential sport shift more often. I wonder if that would improve the MPG versus using automatic?
