HELLO,

REAL WORLD DRIVING TO ME IS WHAT MY CUSTOMERS TEND TO DO. EVERY STOP LIGHT IS A DRAG RACE, THEIR 7 MI COMMUTE IS
PURE STOP AND GO, AND THE CARS NEVER REALLY STRECH THEIR LEGS. IF YOU MIX SOME NORMAL FREEWAY DRIVING IN, MILEAGE SHOULD BUMP UP TO AROUND 27-28. I DROVE A NEW ONE TO PORTLAND AND BACK AND GOT ABOUT 35MPG IN 5TH GEAR @70MPH OR SO.

THE CUP HOLDERS ARE DISPOSABLE, I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THEM BUT THEY USUALLY FAIL SHORTLY AFTER. THEY JUST SNAP DOWN IN THEIR LITTLE CUBBY AND ARE EASY TO REPLACE. THEY RUN AROUND 50 BUCKS OR SO. SORRY, ENGINEERING AFTERTHOUGHT.

I PERSONALY DRIVE 210 DIESELS MANUALY WITH THE SHIFTER.
BUT WHEN CRUSING ON THE OPEN ROAD ABOVE 60, I JUST LEAVE THEM IN O.D. OR 5TH. THE RPMS ARE UP HIGH ENOUGH AT THOSE SPEEDS AND YOU DON'T WANT TO OVERWORK OR OVERHEAT THE TURBO IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK AND QUESTIONS.

SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS, KEYBOARD BROKEN.
ANYONE KNOW A GOOD KEYBOARD TECHNICIAN? HA HA

HAVE A GOOD DAY. DR.D
