Kizashi Club

Gas mileage running 89 hovers in the 28+ range.

But I gotta get them rear sway bar bushings replaced to pass state inspection...........








70,312

Your state looks at sway bar bushings? You really don't even need "sway bars" for a roadworthy passenger car. Heck, some makes, sway bars are an option on higher trims where lower models are sans roll/sway bars.

"It's part of the suspension"; bah!

What can I say?

It's an addiction.



(last tank Gulf 89 31+ MPG).






70,800

Gulf mid-range (89 octane) is returning 28--31 MPG based on driving 'style'. Nice.


No doubt time for an oil change.......







73,055

Oil change 5/6/21 74,156 miles.


Finally......

That's some good range. I recall getting about that once when I drove from DC to Ithaca, NY by keeping the speeds moderate and staying mostly on freeways and highways.
Here in California, we drive a lot faster on the freeways if traffic conditions allow so it's hard to get that excellent fuel economy unless it's a conscious effort to keep speeds lower and drive slower than the pace of traffic.

Ran the numbers; 29.2 MPG.

Granted, it has no time over 90.......







75,701

Keeping my Interstate cruise speed below 70 keeps me netting 29+ MPG; last tank half Gulf 89 octane and 3.56 gallons of Mobil 87 returned 29.6; stoked.
