Re: Problems getting an oil change

Or you can drive it up on a pair of ramps. Fast and inexpensive. I used to jack up the front end and place jack-stands on both sides. Wish I had gotten the ramps years ago. Would have saved mucho...

I've logged my last tank, at least for awhile. I never tracked my fuel economy before coming to this site, and didn't expect to do it as long as I have, which is well over a year. I was trying to...

Re: Getting Out and Pushing

At work I park at the top of a hill. When leaving, depending on the spot, the car will begin to roll on it's own, or I just need the one foot out the door push to get it going.

Jimmy,

The first time Wayne replied, he was talking about how you were traffic side drafting, etc, while you were cruising in the right lane at 60. In other words, although you said you weren't...

Re: Bigest looser

The last 8 cylinder powered vehicle I owned was a 75 Granada. Got rid of it in 1988. Never tracked gas mileage in those days.

Re: Nissan’s ECO-accelerator pedal helps reduce fuel consumption

Re: AAA Still Throwing Hypermilers Under the Bus

Safety always wins out. If you are in a situation where you might need all your braking power and control, simply don't FAS.

Re: Deleting my first 2 tanks

Sorry, but if you're going to log mileage on this site, you should do it the by the rules.

If you don't like the rules, I'd suggest you run your numbers on your own spreadsheet.
