Replying to: larsb (Feb 05, 2009 8:17 am) thanks for article. made one mistake from article, called Toyota regional customer service rep first, however, don't believe service rep knew at which dealership i had service check. i was polite, but Yota customer service said right out of the gate, if dealer computer check comes up "clean", there is NO NEXT STEP. in my nature to compliment first, ask next, compliment again (sandwich like), so was polite to local mechanic at dealership. car came up "clean", guy told me "everything working according to expectations" nothing they can do. went to dealership closest to home. my car was bought at another dealership. article suggests talk to GM. should i contact GM where purchased car? Does it matter? whole family has been loyal to Toyota for years, that's why disappointed. yours truly, Future Replies: Please try to click on green orly1 and read previous posts before suggesting "new tip"

Replying to: orly1 (Feb 04, 2009 5:52 pm) In my 5.5 mile commute to and from work, depending on how I drive, I can get less than 25 MPG if I drive like I used to, or regularly get 36 to 40 mpg, depending on how well I get the lights. On purpose, I've already driven an entire tankful my old way vs. my new way, and I've also noticed about the same mileage. I keep my little bar graph going, and keep it above 35mpg but it's not unusual for me to keep it over 40 mpg on 20 mile trips on the flat highway out here in Phoenix. And I drive at or above the speed limit always. I do notice that at 75+, my mileage drops significantly, and if I have my bike rack on the back w/ 2 bikes, I also only get around 32 mpg on the highway. Did you check for a rubbing brake? Or a misalignment?

Or a misalignment? just took to dealer, says all o.k. would not know how to check those things on my own. i drive using all the tricks i know (and any new suggested), bought the car for gas saving. would probably be a "hypermiler" myself is car would co-operate thanks for reply Future Replies: Please try to click on green orly1 and read previous posts before suggesting "new tip" |

Replying to: larsb (Feb 05, 2009 10:59 am) have checked carspace email, no message yet. just a request to be friends. haven't you noticed, i AM persistent, i'm not going to give up easily, however i may not always be as assertive as i would like because i am afraid i may go the other way and "loose my cool" on these folks.

Replying to: orly1 (Feb 05, 2009 1:28 pm) I get some stupid error saying "Outgoing messages are limited to one every 600." 600 what? It makes no sense. Go to this blog and get the info: Blahg Blahg Blahg |

Replying to: larsb (Feb 05, 2009 1:57 pm)  Crazy Brilliant! You set up a Blog "dfakjhf afkac kkf" for ONE! such mad skills. especially since HOST is MIA  got your "test" email. this CarSpace PM thing will be helpful if you are willing to accept CarSpace emails. it's hard for me to NOT go off on tangents. 1) still have to look up your tube video 2) which GM should i call (purchase or closest) 3) tundra article helpful; not alone 4) humble, have not ruled out "user error"  can PM funny metaphor on user error. thanks again for reply

Replying to: orly1 (Feb 05, 2009 4:48 pm) I'd say start with the one from the dealer who sold you the car. If he cannot help you, then ask HIM where to go next, and explain in no uncertain terms that you are NOT going to stop until you have an answer as to why your car performs so poorly. Just be both exceedingly polite and exceedingly stubborn. |

Replying to: orly1 (Feb 05, 2009 4:48 pm) your request to "be my friend" has disappeared from my carspace mail box. i have some unanswered questions for you, what is your role as HOST? why have you not responded to any of my posts? can i no longer send you messages through carspace mail box? you seem to have a practical understanding what to expect when dealing with toyota, so why not chime in on my issue? is not a performance issue which is/has cost money slightly more important that "non-safety related noises"? yours truly. orly 1
