LOL, if you don’t see why the feedback from people who actually use the forum is more valuable than someone who doesn’t and if you don't the the absurdity of threatening not to post anymore if something is changed away from how you like it when you haven't posted in 6 years I don’t see how I can help you.

Hey though look at how this has gotten all this engagement from you when the way it was before you didn't post. Looks like it’s a win for the forum!

Great simple cars, but I call BS on the 46mpg. I know British gallon is roughly 10% more volume vs US gallon, but still BS. Maybe on that particular trip the guy was hypermiling on the highway.

I've personally never gotten the advertised MPG in any car/bike, not anywhere near.

It's about a 20% difference between the two.

That's interesting. Usually my cars over perform, on the interstate especially.

If you drive the LX570 like a great great great great Grandmother you can attain 14 city. It's rated 12.

The BMW is the only car where I've achieved close to the EPA rating. The truck is rated for like 15/21 and I get 12/17 generally.

The BMW is rated for 20/30. I usually get around 20 in the city unless I'm driving aggressively or running ethanol. I can get above 30 on the highway unless I'm driving too fast.

However, of course, I certainly would not want to see Euro-style gas prices become permanent here in the U.S.

let’s keep iran and any other politics out of this.

azftw, glad you’re posting a bit more… and yes, we will not be tolerating political comments much.
