So I take my car to the dealership....

I will keep a record of the mileage as reported by the computer, and mileage the old fashioned way, with paper and pencil, and see if there is a difference. I see people slam the computer, but they probably have different sized tires from the stock 215/55/17's.

Anywho, the VVTi also makes a big difference since it times for mileage if you stay at one speed for very long. This is part of the lag equation since it has to retime for power if you step into it.

So staying put on the throttle is a good idea. Cruise control is the way to go.

I am getting some work done next week and will post a favorable service review, I am sure, at that time. NOT a dealer, but a long-time favorite garage in the area.

Bogus bill no more. They know I didnt sign for anything. Bascially, I got all this work done for free which aint too bad. Except for the whole synthetic-to-regular -to-synthetic swtiches that were done. I just hope it didnt take years away from my car's life.

Still waiting for the sunroof parts to come in so I can take it down again.
