#308 of 314 Gas Mileage Increase by fin May 14, 2008 (4:46 am)
At 23k miles my '07 Limited finally hit 30+ mpg on a trip. Been close but never made it up to now. There was a lot of construction and police were everywhere for about half the 325 miles. Avg speed was about 60-65 instead of the 75+ we usually travel so that must have made the difference. This is great considering gas is $3.79 a gallon for mid-grade in GA and the FL panhandle. What a ride... all this room and 30 mpg too... Replies to this message: tjc78 (May 14, 2008 5:02 am)

Replying to: fin (May 14, 2008 4:46 am) At 60 - 65 the Av will definately pull 30. I hardly ever take the car on a long ride ('06 XLS), but last summer on a trip to Baltimore (from Jersey) I got 28.8 at 75 - 80 the whole way with the A/C on. Can't complain at all about that. Of course in my normal commute (city / congested hwy) I barely ever get above 21. However, that is still 2 MPG higher than my '03 Av got with the same driving, despite having 70 less HP.

Even more amazing, I got on Natchez Trace Parkway (MS/TN) and set cruise on 58 MPH for about 150 miles. My 07 XL got 34 MPG.   With all the interstate traffic, trucks, construction, etc., I'm not sure my trip time was much less! Replies to this message: wwest (Jun 12, 2008 9:11 pm)

Replying to: marstil (Mar 23, 2008 6:18 am) I understand how to change the oil but how do you reset the maintenence reminder light? Any changes I make/reset via the dash navigation maintenence display don't seem to reset the 'maintenence light'. I know what your thinking, but there's nothing else wrong with the car.

Replying to: popsavalon (May 14, 2008 5:57 am) It's been awhile ('00 or '01) since we drove the parkway (new '99 911/996) but I seem to remember the speed limit being around 40MPH, at least from the Brentwood TN area well into the area in MS that used to be the western border of FL.   It was snowing that February day so the speed limit wasn't an issue since the scenery more than made up for it.   Had lunch in Leapers Fork, neat little "burg".

Replying to: bussby5504 (Jun 12, 2008 8:56 pm) If you have an '07 Limited w/Nav, or any similar model owner's manual, the instructions are on page 154. If you don't have the manual: turn off the engine with the odometer showing; turn on the ignition (but not start) while holding mileage button in; hold button in, wait 5 seconds; light goes out. It works, just did it last oil change. Enjoy the Avy... great cars. Replies to this message: bussby5504 (Jun 13, 2008 5:15 pm)

Replying to: fin (Jun 13, 2008 5:18 am) Thanks so much. It worked like a charm. I don't know how I overlooked it in the manual.
