I went to work for 1 hour and finished a job and now I'm home wtf .. I was told work is getting slow now. :-(.
On another note. I hit the gas again today like 15 times and the sound is going away or noy getting as loud but you can hear it a little bit. Wonder if mys cats are clogged up. After I pulled into the garage the exhaust smell stinks ..

Dropping the.g off next Monday to lokey infiniti and I'm thinking its the valves in the motor .. christian will hook me up with a loaner since the car will be for a.little. hmm g37 sedan or new g37 convertible :-) lol
I was able to get 22mpg for the past week... thats driving under 3K RPM all the time... controlling the throttle (or tiptronic) to shift at 2K RPM... no AC and windows down. Never let the car idle when i parked, always turned it off right away.
Is it worth it though? I get 18 MPG and i beat on the car, drive it hard and enjoy every moment of it... but 22 MPG i might as well be driving a lincoln town car.... or buy a prius if i cared that much about MPG..
But that extra 4 MPG winds up being an extra 80 miles per tank of gas (assuming one uses all 20 gallons) which is a pretty far distance lol

I got 26 out of the sedan doing that. Actually, it was the right time of year to not need A/C or the windows down. Just the fan bringing in fresh air.
Just so you guys know, around 60-65 you hit a break-even point with the windows down losing aerodynamics. You actually lose less economy running the AC than having the windows down above that speed.
