Not yet and may not be. It's only been a week since local ESSO and base gas stations switched to E10. ESSO still has a couple of non-E10 pumps while the bases(from what I've heard) are E10 all the way. Just wanted to see if anyone has been using it and their experiences. I did learn that mpg...

Hello, My apologies if this had been asked before. My search didn't come up with any hits. Is E10 ok to use for our Mazda5? Specifically, a 2009? Thanks. Ray

Read the manual but want to make sure I'm doing it right. We have an 09 with 18k miles. I start the car and warm it up for a couple of minutes. I check the level and its at the 1st tick of the dipstick. Do I need to let it warm up a little longer or should the level read between the 1st and 2nd...

Maybe. Hard to believe there are peeps out there that would gas up with the engine running.

Not avoiding the dealer necessarily. If the CEL comes back, it'll be going to the dealer. Based on my forum research and wife's testimony that she may have not tightened the gas cap the day before, decided to clear the code. AFAIK, they don't do loaners in Germany. At least not with BMW, Ford...

I edited my initial post and added the code. The code was P0455 Evap Leak. I did code searching in the forum and decided to clear the code and see if it comes back.

OEM Roof Racks with Thule 594xt sidearm Hello, Anybody using this combo? I'm looking to put 4 bikes(2 20" kids, 2 adults). Not sure if it would fit or should I opt for the Thule 460 or similar with longer load bars? Appreciate the info. Thanks...

LOL. First thing I asked her when she called. Asked her to describe. Verified when I got home. Yea. Nice driving the 5 on the a-bahn. The 5 is smooth and stable at 100mph. Even better with cruise con on.(drive)

Cel A friend has a code reader for his mini. I'll ask him if it's mini specific. I'll post the code when I find out. Thanks everyone. R

Yea. Asked her if she noticed anything out of the ordinary like sputtering or hesitation, etc..but nothing.

Hello, Got a call from the wife telling me the CEL came on on our 2009 M5 GT at 13k miles. Did some looking around for anything loose, checked the gas cap but no joy. Will be making an appt with the dealers but perhaps someone might have suggestions on what else to check? Thanks. Edit...

Tks for the info. I did use the search function and browsed some of the topics but didn't see much about the type of rack I was inquiring about. Now I know why. Thanks.

Hello, Is anyone here using this on their Mazda5? Any issues? http://www.thule.com/en/US/Products/BikeCarriers/RearDoor/16200.aspx

205/55/16 and lugnuts What pressure are you guys running with 205/55/16's? Just got my winters on steels but haven't mounted them yet. Dropped the pressure down to 34. Also read on another thread that the stock lugnuts will not work with the steelies? Can someone chime in on this so I can go...

Tpms Hello, Do the steelies accomodate TPMS?
