Sorry boys, been out hanging out with the wife and her friend.
Nef, I've got just under 11,000 on the car and I'll break almost 11,500 on the way home if not a tad more. It was about 510KMs from our Esso to her door.
Fuel saving tips? Cruise control as much as possible on open highway, a higher cruise is still more effiicient than yo-yo driving (80-130-90-120, etc) and my personal jury's still out over what's less drag-inducing, open windows over no-AC ventilation.
On a side note, how's this for Dura-noobish? I kept noticing a loud "tick" every 30-45 seconds or more when driving around town with the HVAC on (no AC, just outside venting in). I'd lose a tad bit of power and then regain it.... I finally realized it was the AC compressor kicking in after popping the hood and observing it for a few minutes in my driveway! :lol: :D
FocusGuy, that's damn impressive mileage for the SVT! Do you have it retuned with a SCT or Predator?
Canadian ST, how much mileage on your 2.3L? Anything under 7-8000 in my experience and your economy will be quite a bit less than expected. Mind you, those are 2.0L stats, but still...
