I may have mis-read your question a bit. What I meant was I'm surprised at the consistency of the readings and results. I expected more variation.

Projected landfall hasn't moved significantly in the past five advisories. Puts landfall < 30 miles from us. :oops: At least it's projected to be a Cat Two.

I like the way mine look.Taking the wheels off and changing the caps 'bout did me in.

That is true. If the path keeps shifting west, Alabama and Louisiana will be the target. You folks may get a taste of surge and winds.

Thanks, so do we. We're better able to cope than some areas. A direct hit will not be fun. After Hurricane Kate in '85, 4,400 dump truck loads of trees were hauled away. Some folks lost power for eleven days. :oops:

My "ST" caps were $10 for the set.

Washed, waxed, detail-sprayed, vacuumed, tire-shined windows cleaned, 1/2 quart of oil added. Air filter cleaned. The Mazda, Mustang and RAV are fueled. I'll fill the ST Monday on the way to work. The generators are full. Fetched gas for the generators just in case and prepped for Ian's...

The OP's car is two-tone red & white. My red one doesn't have that weird-looking stuff around the tail lights.

I hear ya there! The Limited pulled my loaded trailer and still got 17+ while my Ram got 12.8 (best ever: 16.7) and just ignore it if the trailer's back there. And you're right about what's the difference. I've gotten so accustomed to making my Fuelly entries, I don't know if I could ever...

Fuelly.com is your best bet. Make sure you fill it. Don't count on pump cut-off. I use my trip odometer, not the "main" one. I've already determined the odo error - I have to add 2.3% to determine the true miles covered since the last fill-up.

Did not know that. Don't know if I'd want to trust it.

The ST was way off (IMO), as was the Limited. This was not unexpected, so surprisingly I've been able to get the ST way closer than I expected. I've always had to compensate for the computer's optimistic guess of the mileage. My Ram with new tires was 4.3% off. The Speed 3 was 1.8% off. I only...

This works fine. I've made the adjustment on the Mustang, the Limited and now the ST. Surprisingly, the ST has been dead-on the past two tanks. The Mustang is < .5 mpg off.

I keep meaning to try mine (in an empty lot), but I forget to go by my office on the weekend.

We've not even had that problem. We can set to a city or a specific address without any aggravation. It even took us through back-streets to our hotel in Arlington, VA. We didn't have to deal with DC traffic much at all. I had been dreading tangling with it.

I strongly disagree. The GPS in mine worked better than great on a 2,600 mile road trip. It took us around nasty traffic, an over-an-hour wreck tie-up, construction delays and other such aggravations. BTW, NEVER put your home address in the GPS. Program a nearby gas station, intersection or...

You are 143.788% correct.

There still may be a ForScan option. I plan to look into that (as well as eliminating the double-honk, enabling "fogs as cornering lamps", making the panic button require two presses, etc., etc).

Definitely a negative. The pennies "saved" on fuel will be eaten up by battery and starter replacements.

Agreed. My Speed3's mileage went south pretty quickly if I idled it on really cold mornings (the only time I EVER let it sit and "warm up")
