Re: Rant of the Month
Harold,
I brought my car in last month for some scheduled brake light recall work. The dealer had to order a part prior to this work. I still have the work order from the repair. Makes me wonder if they did any work at all.

You gotta be kidding!!! I think I would be looking? Something is not correct there, wheel bearings ,something.Your FE is way low for someone that understands the car and how it should be driven!H

Re: Rant of the Month
I filled my car up last night, going off of another post, I put in the middle grade of gas. I have to wait to see if there is any change but I will assume it will not make a difference.
A few weeks ago, against what I have been saying here on other posts, I decided to fill my tires to 40psi. I did not get over 38mpg.
The battery seems to have stabilized but again the weather here this week is mid 70's.

I don't know if this has been asked before (my apologies) but is there a GH member in your area that may take a ride with you in your car?
I would like to be wrong on this one but I can't help but to think you have a virtual boat anchor dragging behind your car. This is very odd and despite the complexities involved I am inclined to believe (based on my experiences) the answer to your problem may be a little simpler.
Either that or you got yourself a lemon.

There was one memeber here, Larry, but I haven't heard back from him. We were suppose to meet up so he can check out my BASS kit and Blueconnect system.
Funny thing, every time I see another hybrid owner, I have been tempted to roll my window down at the traffic light and say "Does that thing have a Hemi!" seriously ask them what they are currently gettting in terms of MPG... I almost worked up the guts two days ago, but I didn't want someone to get the wrong idea....

Re: Rant of the Month
I might have answered one of my main problems with MPG. In our area we have E10 gas. If I were to figure the loss of MPG compared to regular gas it is about 10% which would account for a 3-4 mpg loss. If I were to add the loss number to what i have been getting it would = 38 - 44mpg.
Unfortunately this area will not move away from E10 based gas in the near future....
