    Thanks Lintbrush. That's at least some consolation for me. I agree our freeway congestion may contribute, but still does not explain how people can achieve 33mpg on the highway on a long stretch at...

    James,

    That's exactly in the ballpark where I would expect it to be. I guess my 2004 XC mileage on such a trip would be very similar. I'm still puzzled by Gibbons' figures....... Anybody else who...

    I envy Gibbons. His mileage figures are indeed impressive. I use premium gas (Shell V-power) and don't use synthetic oil. My odometer currently reads 10K miles and I still have the Pirelli STR tires....

    Lintbrush,

    Next time if you hear the noise switch your fan to the off position (red led) and

    Tom,
