Im getting about 24-26 mpg consistently now. One time I filled up the tank and the pump clicked off and you know how you go back and top it off well the gas filled up until a lil spilled out the side. Must be an extra gallon, I got like 28 mpg and still drove it the same.

5K miles My car is running fantastic. Everyday the permasmile gets wider and wider. What a freaking great car! Mike

Yeah wont 87 destroy your engine? I wouldnt put it in. Do you do it to save the 20 cents per gallon?

Update.. Two tanks from Valero. One I got around 25.4, the next 24.6. Seems to be going down..lol. I do love to sit at a stop light, floor it, and be a 1/4 mile down the road while everyone is just leaving the stoplight. Only once in a while though. :) The car is faast. Running like a champ...

hehe... bmer dude was funni, then you hear out the window Fck! lol.. Maybe the was just Bmer Torque Steer... Mike

Yes, But I also sustained some scrapes on 1... the main part. I could just retouch that part... The thing is it will probably happen again. Is it easy to pop on part 19? Mike

I scraped up the bottom, under the lip on Friday going into a gas station. I heard ssssccccrrraaaape. Ouch. The Pain. You cant notice unless you look and bend a bit, but I know its their. And I was trying to be careful since its fairly new. F**kc. Is the bottom piece seperate from the fog light...

OK So I refilled did the calculations and got 26.2 mpg in stop go driving with the main routed being the LIE and Southern State Parkway in NY. Which means if you are lucky youll get a half mile of 60mph driving before stopping again. 3 more and Ill go to Sunoco... I guess that s pretty much...

It isnt good science... Ill refill in the morning to check for real. But I divided 194 by 7.5 (more bad science) and only came up with 25.8 mpg anyway... Which is not to bad for stop and go... but for some reason I thought itr was 29.. using the guessing positive technique... hehe Im going to...

Nope... same route during the work week... which is LIE (Long Island Expressway) stop/go... traffic. Driving normal. Which includes some zoomin.

My Mazdaspeed 3 MPG GUess what? I usually get around 156 mi. per half tank. So I am getting between 23 - 25 mpg. Im not sure why... and I havent been driving any different, but I just got 194 mi for the last half tank. I know measuring via the little needle isnt accurate, but thats a huge...

The bolts are very soft , I guess because they are going into aluminum? I did the same thing to the TMIC cover, bolting it back on and I like tight.. snap! So just go to firm, not tight.... like I like my ladies :) Well... Im married so... And I had no top of the bolt sticking above and spent...

I like it.. looks like you know what your doing. Mike

They are 6x8... And they are like little pieces of cardboard.. So small.. but they didnt sound bad. They are voiced with big holes in the sound spectrum though, that way they sound good. M
