Replying to: bubbaman999 (Mar 31, 2006 10:35 pm)  I'm totally jazzed. I'll give detailed report here when I get it. Hell, I've wasted enough time on this forum when I should be making money instead  I'm impressed by your mpg. I'm interested in what will happen when the car has 10,000 miles and is broken in -- and the weather is warmer (at least for me...at least the snow is melting here).

Replying to: bubbaman999 (Apr 07, 2006 1:58 pm)  The car has been built and it's in transit. The salesman wasn't lying when he said six to eight weeks. It's officially six weeks as of today and the car should be at the dealer either tomorrow or Monday. I was kind of hoping it would have been four weeks of course. That's pretty good mpg. I can never get a good sense of what real world mpg will be by reading car mags...They of course hammer on a test car, and the faster the car the more they seem to hammer it. I'm realllly hoping the car is in tomorrow.. As to seats: Leather seats in gxp come in suede inserts, but you CAN buy a gxp with cloth seats. it's a 1000 bucks less, but they're rare.

Replying to: splatsterhound (Apr 07, 2006 8:09 pm) Anyway hope you get your car soon. I have had mine about 4 weeks, only have 504 miles on it, MPG should get better as it gets broken in. Agree with the seats comment. When I was looking for a GXP almost all of them came fully loaded minus the Nav system. I had a hard time finding any without the sunroof/CD system. Wish I could get the tunes without the sunroof and wish the Monsoon would play a MP3 CD, tried with no luck. Cheers, Bubbaman (Gary)

Replying to: bubbaman999 (Apr 08, 2006 8:17 am) Insurance companies only care about one thing: payout rates. Big cars are safer than small cars, no doubt about it. I used to pay more for insurance for an old Ford Escort than I did for a new Suburban. |

I finally surpassed the 500 mile mark, and took it on the road after fill up. I was doing a good amount of WOT passing, not to mention LONG road jams, and stopping, due to construction. I still averaged 20.3 MPG, 20.5 by my calculations. I was pretty impressed considering the horrible conditions I was in. I NEVER was even able to use the cruise either. Also, where does your temp gauge needle sit? Mine actually creeped up a little, AFTER I turned the AC off, and got near a lake where it was a lot cooler. The needle sat past the center mark. I'll keep an eye on it from now on.
