Being a trader, I find myself driving the G more often during a downtrend in crude oil prices. And less often when oil is on the rise again.

It's usually just a +/- 20cent price difference on prem gas, sometimes less. But then again i'm lucky to own a gas sipping honda also.

Makes me wonder how many of your guys are lying about what car you came from. Anyone that's owned a big 6cylinder never complains....
I have a 1.4l Honda as my second car. Gas mileage is just one of the reasons I'll never sell it.

As for saving fuel going down from the hill, being in gear slows the engine down vs N. That could be good actually - less braking as you come down to the traffic light Bhutan if it's s freeway that's coasting down for miles N will save gas vs this Fuel Cutoff feature that was mentioned.

Overall Gs are pretty gas hungry. Change the cheap stuff anyway (never bad): air filter, fuel filter, maybe a few runs of fuel cleaner.

17/18? thats real good in my opinoin.
I have to fill up every 4 days and I'm just local. For me to drive 5 hours round trip to visit my fiancee it takes 1 full tank if not slightly more sometimes and thats me driving conservatively.


These cars arent meant to be like a civic, if you're worried about gas mileage then no offense, you may have bought the wrong car.

I enjoy when people ask me about my car and whether it is fast. I always reply, "Yeah, it'll pass anything except a gas station!"

Goodnight folks!

Get a tune. Your gas mileage will go up more than just a bit, but I'm not sure if the savings can justify the cost.
