I clean my windshield every day that I drive the car and use "Invisible Glass", however, I'm not happy with the results. No matter how much I clean (inside and out) you can still see, if the sun is at the right angle, a haze and streaks. Has anyone got a magic formula for clean windows?

Replying to: tfelton (Feb 26, 2009 1:51 pm) I spray the windows down with Castle Streak Proof, glass cleaner, and then after it sits for a short time, I wipe quickly with good brand paper towel. If the windows are real bad, I go over them afterwards with hot water and a mild mix of Lestoil, and then do the Streak Proof cleaning again. I've only had to do the second step on cars with people who smoke, but after both steps, the windows are very CLEAN. Now part of the secret is letting the cleaning sit long enough, and the other part is wiping dry using fast movements. It works for me. Skip |

at 89, it's the highest rated Large Sedan. A nice score, and justified, for the most part. It came in at #8 in the over-all score category. Still a nice placement when you look at what came ahead, were not all the same style car one would be looking at. 1) Lexus LS - Luxury Sedan 2) Infiniti M M35 X V6 - Luxury Sedan 3) Infiniti M M35 V6 - Luxury Sedan 4) Infiniti G - Upscale Sedan 5) Hyundai Genesis - Upscale Sedan 6) Lexus ES - Upscale Sedan 7) Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan E320 BLUETEC V6 - Luxury Sedan 8) Toyota Avalon - Large Sedan and the next Large Sedan came in at: 26) Hyundai Azera, with a score of 83 Skip |

| I have a 2008 Avalon XLS w/o navigation. Can anyone explain why every time I fill up the gas tank the MPG display drops down to 10 mpg. Then it takes about 5 to 10 miles of driving to go back up to the normal 25 to 26 mpg (local driving). Is the accuracy of this readout any good? I fill up the tank and it shows a 363 mile range and I'm getting 25 to 26 mpg driving around town. A conservative estimate should read at least 400 miles on a full tank (16 gal X 25 mpg). | |

Replying to: doug3030 (Mar 10, 2009 12:50 pm)  Fill the tank only until the auto cutoff shuts down the pump. It is probably safe to pump more but only until the cutoff occurs again. Never more. Make sure you are on level ground and always use the same pump. This will give you the best chance to get accurate fuel mileage locally. On trips, same thing, but pumps are different so take several readings. Fuel mileage indicators, such as on my '07 Limited w/Nav, are not accurate and the old fashioned way works better, your right. And the DTE (distance to empty) is nonsense by concept. Enjoy the Avy, great cars.
