Replying to: phaetondriver (Nov 13, 2007 1:58 pm) One more question: Do you get a Tire Pressure Monitor warning when your tire pressure is that high?

Replying to: steelerman (Nov 14, 2007 7:03 am) Do you get a Tire Pressure Monitor warning when your tire pressure is that high? No. The tire monitor doesn't warn of high pressure, just low, Mine has done this twice, both time the tire was about 25 psi due to a nail. I do get a report email telling me my tires are not inflated to the recommended 30 psi. I am not concerned about any excessive tire wear or unusual handling because of tires being inflated to 38-40 psi, especially for freeway driving. Just the opposite is true. Check it out for one tank of gas on your daily commute. Can't hurt to verify what I am saying. |

Over the last 3 weeks I have driven 1150 miles. Last three tank fulls came to 40.2 gal. My trip computer said I got 26.7 MPG My calculations show it was more like 28.6MPG  There was about 850 miles of freeway driving (50 - 80 MPH), the rest was city driving, short trips of 2-5 miles at 0- 40 MPH. I am totally stoked at this mileage in a 250 HP sedan.  If one of those 4 bangers that gets 34 highway MPG could get 30 MPG combined would have saved about 2.5 gallons on the same 1150 miles, or $8. The savings of $7 per 1000 miles? That's $350 for 50K miles saved by the 4 bangers. Big deal

Last trip of over 1200 miles mixed 800 highway and 400 city I averaged 26.8 in my 2007 Aura XR. Best leg was 29.9mpg (one 4400 foot hill with a 7-10% climb at 75mph). Not I-4 mpg but very good for a 3.6/252hp V6 I think. Anyone interested in some really good mileage? check pout this new car from BMW. I took this pix at a Palm Springs parking lot, notice the plate is from Canada   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com"> |

I am on my third oil change which I got a few months ago at just under 9000 miles. I now have over 17000 miles and the DIC says I have 40% of my oil life remaining. At this rate I will be over 12000 miles on this oil change. The only thing I have done to the oil was replace one quart of oil with one quart of Slick 50. Anyone else experiencing this kind of oil life according to the DIC in their Aura? Anyone using Mobile 1 and if so are they getting unusually long oil life according to the DIC oil life meter? |

Replying to: mickeyrom (Feb 13, 2008 7:36 pm) To maintain the warranty I need to change the oil when the DIC indicates I am within 10% of the oil life. I have just been reading of other GM owners that are getting very high mileage between oil changes according to the on board oil life computer.

Replying to: phaetondriver (Feb 13, 2008 7:16 pm) I have 6800 miles om my XR, 30% life left according to DIC. This next change will be my first. I have not done anything to my oil. So I am in unchartered territory here with going so long without an oil change..... |
