Your MPG and Radio Question

[rick3000]

Thanks, I will give becker a call. I was just wondering if there is a cheap DIY fix, for peeling radio buttons, $55 + shiping for that is a bit pricey.

Around 19-20 for pure in-town driving and about 26-28 for highway. Keep in mind that I'm in Colorado and mileage suffers at altitude...

+1 on the starts. You can get pretty good in-town mileage if you're willing to give up the 4000 RPM sound.

My memory is failing. Here's a post from someone who had the job done. The cost is closer to $90!

I knew there was a reason I was thinking of living with the problem. A DIY solution would be welcome.

I get about 24 mpg, highway, spirited driving, with top down.

Since I bought my car a year ago (01 S, 6spd, 46k miles), the "average mileage" reading has gone from 18.something to 20.1 and seems to have leveld off there. (13k miles in last year -- 3/4 city/PCH/freeway gridlock and 1/4 highway cruising)

One time I used a whole tank on my 2.7L never going over 3K RPM combined city and highway and averaged 30MPG! But since then I've been driving "normally" and I get 24 city and 29 highway.

Well, gas is $3.29 for premium in my neighborhood. I am sure it is more and less some other places. I have been getting around 225 miles to the tank... which is how I measure it. I did a bit of highway driving on Memorial Day weekend and got 270 miles to the tank.. NICE.

Radio... no idea.
