    To be hot you need a Pagani Zonda with a girl like Lauren seated in it next to you.

  3. Only... in the real life version, hopefully she wouldn't have a blurred face.

    GM has the tightest tolerances in the industry, especially internal engine. BTW Check out my latest long term durability comparison between Cadillac and Toyota. Cadillac wins easily in this unbiased test with odds grossly tilted towards Toyota and Cadillac still won.

  5. you think they have tighter tolerances than Lauren? :D

    then again, she's not an auto maker.

    ...wonder if she makes anything else....

    Averaging 19.4MPG at 6500 miles.

    It will be a miracle if I can get it to 20MPG.

    Averaging 19.6 for several thousand miles. Closing in on 10K miles.

    This average may be all I get out of this car. Next update in winter '06, but I think I am really close to what I can expect to get.

    My driving habits are probably pretty average. I rarely drive above 65 MPH and average 60 MPH on highways and 35 in city. My driving is a mix of highway and city driving. I rarely use the air conditioner and mostly have the windows down unless I can't stand it.

    So Nissan is really aggressive on their estimates on MPG, and imo when you see an estimate on the sticker on MPG, take 5 MPH (20%) off and that is what you can really expect.

  9. high test should bump it that little bit to 20 mpg. ( sorry I didn't go way back into the history again)

  10. If you mean high octane, higher octane gas has slightly lower energy content. Unless the engine is designed for premium gas, regular 87 octane will get as good or better economy.
