    Hi, I was in an accident, just got the car back from the auto body shop. I dont remember if the gear box was illuminated at night? Can anyone please confirm? Right now, at night, when I look at the gear box, I dont see any lights, and I have to look at the dash to tell which gear i am on...

    Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus 225 55r19

    Just an update. I did end up getting the cintuarato p7s and got a great deal at discount tire by matching SAMs instant rebate. My initial impression is that I find no difference between the oem and these.

    Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus 225 55r19

    I am struggling with this decision. I'd really like to get the Pirelli Cintaurato 225/55/R19, Sams club cautioned me about dropping down from V rated tires to H rated tires. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for all your response.

    MPG is no where close to what others are seeing

    Hi Mike, I'd be happy with the 28.4 mpg i was getting. The issue is, I am not anymore. But like you said, it gets very cold here. I am averaging 25mpg everytime. So hopefully, it picks back up in the summer. I do however notice that people with touring awd models (like yourself) are doing much...

    Weird fuel gauge readings

    Hi, I am starting to realize that different fuel pumps pump in different amounts of gas before the auto shut off valve kicks in to stop the overflow. The fuelly method of tracking gas mileage has this flaw in it. This time, i was at a gas station where it put in more gas than usual, before the...

    Last 3 tanks 36.3 MPG, 36.5 MPG, 35.3 MPG, with an Auto

    I think the key here is AWD.. They are considerably less fuel efficient than the FWD.
