Can you see any of his posts from this thread? He started this one as well and has some posts in there too.
CX-5 Fuel efficiency, comfort and handling
The following post is based on my experience with the CX5. Have ran 19 inch, 17 inch and 16 inch rims/tires so far and these are results on fuel efficiency, handling and comfort. Appearance is subjective so left that out. 19 inch rims/toyo tire combo- Fuel efficiency was so-so highway avg @...

No, looks like I can no longer see any of Jack Rabbit's posts for some reason. But I didnât block anybody like I said earlier. Can you check my personal setup from background?Can you see any of his posts from this thread? He started this one as well and has some posts in there too.

Maybe try a browser you're not logged into. I don't use Edge, but did for this experiment and I can see his posts without even logging in. I'm wondering if him blocking you might cause this.

I just tried as you suggested and yes I can see Jack Rabbit's posts once I logged out from the forum. This seems somehow I blocked Jack Rabbit in my profile, but Iâve never blocked anybody before. I also checked my profile and I didnât see anything that indicates Iâve blocked somebody either.Maybe try a browser you're not logged into. I don't use Edge, but did for this experiment and I can see his posts without even logging in. I'm wondering if him blocking you might cause this.
It canât be him blocked me either as I should still be able to see his posts if thatâs the case. And Iâd seen Jack Rabbit's posts many times after he got banned (meaning he couldnât block me after he got banned to make me not seeing his posts if what you said is true).
Nothing in my documentation stated anything longer than the 3 years in batteries I purchased 2021 and later

Haha, I had a LOADED Ford SHOAs you probably know, extreme heat is harmful to batteries but extreme cold reduces capacity by about 50% so a weak battery will fail to start the vehicle in cold weather as you may get only 1/4 of the capacity.The other good thing with this battery blanket is that you can transfer it to your next vehicles as it's not a permanent installation. Of course good old jumper cables or lithium-ion booster pack can prevent you from getting stranded. Batteries can fail any time not just in winter and even after only 21/2 or 3 years, I know it happened to me a few times in the past decades! Sometimes I envy people living in Hawaii
With all the optionsâŚ.massaging seats, ventilated seats,nav, adjustable Pedals, AWD, 3.5 twin turbo Ecoboost.
My point was I had the car in Hawaii, and never left lights on or had a parasitic drain, but 2 years would be all I could get a battery to last with a really loaded vehicle as most trips were short and lengthy highway trips very infrequent.
Dealers now charge $300 for
New CX-5 batteriesâŚ..
Dwight the BEST battery now is Lithium antigravity group 35 with re-start.
Group-35/Q85 Lithium Car Battery
Antigravity Group-35/Q85 Hi-Power lightweight Lithium Automotive Battery with RESTART Technology. Replace lead/acid battery in Hi-Performance Cars.
antigravitybatteries.com
With a new battery at close to $200 , and the Anti gravity at $835, but lasting 3 times as long, weighing about 10 pounds and not ever being stranded with the re-start feature its my next upgrade. Just weight savings alone is mind blowing. Its why highest end Porsche and Merc trims use lithium for their ICE as to save weight.
So with the cost of 200ish every 2-3 years (short trips, loaded options) Iâll change this once instead of 3 times and have more
Consistent voltage without being stranded because of their re-start feature and its only 16 pounds and warrantied for 5 years.
Cost effective, I would go to Costco, but when mine and my wifeâs runs out, Anti gravity it is.
Its worse in Europe, their Euro is devaluing at a much faster rate.
I Arrived in Germany Oct 2020, where $300 was roughly $250 âŹ. When I left last year in 2022 the currencies were almost equal.

Yes, somehow I accidentally âignoredâ Jack Rabbit and now I âunignoredâ him and the problem has resolved. Thank you.

That may be true on exchange rate, but people there use âŹ, not $. During my recent 2812-mile road trip visiting SpainăPortugalăFranceăAndorra, what Iâve found is the inflation in the US is much worse than in these 4 countries! Everything there other than gasoline / diesel is much cheaper even with current exchange rate! When I visited UK and Europe many years ago, the feeling was totally opposite, everything is more expensive there! Hereâs an example and youâd need to pay at least doubled for the same food in the US right now, not to mention you pay exactly 5⏠posted, no extras such as additional 10% sales tax and 20% tips there in the restaurants.
And if youâre shopping for any parts for our CX-5 lately, youâd have to be shocked to see the price for many parts, especially the Mazda OEM parts, has gone up not 30% or 50%, but is almost doubled!
