Bad resolution. 23.3 MPG. It was over 24 after exiting

Long story... I got a call, put on adaptive cruise behind a truck and proceeded to drive about 20 miles... at 55 mph. This is the mileage after a few red lights a bit after exiting the freeway.

I get 13.5 MPG on 87 octane and 14.5 to 15.2 on 89. One day, in the towing section, someone complained about their Rebel only getting 8 MPG towing a trailer. Seemed low.. the guy casually mentions setting the cruise control to 75 MPH with a large, 8000 pound trailer. I thought that was pretty...

I should run some 87 again now that I have a few thousand miles. But I had the same reaction.. why would anyone run 87? At least here in CA. Easy to do the math. A 40 cent spread at 2-3 bucks a gallon might change my habits.

I have a road near my house in San Diego. I set the cruise to 47mph and the truck goes into ECO stays there until I get a red light. I can average 35MPG for miles... minus the lights of course.

HEMIs are very sensitive to octane. I can’t speak for how strictly defined ours are to the HEMI spec, but I do know that I get 10-20% better mileage with 89 octane. Enough that in some cases, I save spending 20 more cents on 89 vs 87. Here in commie California, gas is almost $4 a gallon, so that...

Mazda also makes free map updates.. a bit ridiculous in this day and age to charge. I will pay every 3-4 years only. This is the threshold that allows me to not feel like a total fool.

Konrad, well said. I like the quicker downshifts too... it changed my mind about buying an exhaust.

My audio guy had some very poorly made double 10 inch box that, not only takes all under seat storage, but covered both ram bins. Screw that... I use my truck for a million things. So, that audio guy cut the box in half, custom made the seat storage bracket on the driver side, and I can flip up...

A few weeks ago I traded my loaded 2016 Corvette Stingray for a 2020 Rebel. Many reasons for doing so, the vette was paid for, I had my fun, time to trade out a hot loose woman for a one with 'birthing hips' I guess. But there is one thing about the truck that is, no doubt, undeniably ****...

Ah, Infinity pr9610 Primus are the ones.

I went to a very opinionated audio savant in San Diego. If you live here, go to Cutting Edge Audio and don’t worry about that stuff. He put in Inifinit’s. Their midrange. The front door speakers are component speakers with a separate tweeter, so he made a bracket for the dash. Sounded much...

Hey sparky. Window sticker for one.. if it doesn’t say Harmon Kardon, however it’s spelled, or Alpine, you got lucky and scored the standard 6 speaker standard system. For head units you only have the 5 inch screen, the 8 inch, or the 12 inch. This sounds somewhat dirty, but that size is in...
