Do our cars use alot of washer fluid. three sprays from two nozzels...
also when your getting gas, its allof a sudden full... you cant shove in another dollar. and when you get in the car the gas says full. but about 10 km its already noticable.
some cars when you overfill it you can drive for 30 km before it moves.. have you guys seen this,

Yeah, I think it's the windshield size more than anything else. I have noticed that it cleans more in one sweep than in other cars I've had. I think it's because it dumps more fluid on the windshield; versus a thin spray.

ya, i feel the first half of the tank goes quicker than the second half, but my car is also horrible on gas. maybe 300km to a tank!! if im lucky.
Man, something isn't right. With a 3.3 you should be able to get around 500km on a tank doing all city driving. I get over 600km a tank in my 3.3 doing 70% city / 30% highway. Have you checked for engine codes to see if there's a sensor problem?

I've gone through about 10 gallons of the windshield washer fluid this winter!! We must be digging into our enormous supply of salt this year! :biggrin:

Right now, I'm averaging around 28mpg (mostly highway), or about 430 miles between fillups... If I go fewer than 400 miles on a tank, I know I've been pushing my 2.7 pretty hard! And, come to think of it, I've never been able to put in more than 15.8 gallons so far!

I have used a gallon of wiper fluid in the past year. =) Of course, I parked the car from Feb 20'th to Oct 30. So I guess I probably haven't used much gas either. It is about time to get the bikes out again. Maybe this weekend I will get one of them going.

Its not the gas milage its the tank. I drive an equal amount of highway city and I get about 19.5 (cool gauge). 19.5 on a full size is pretty good. If the gas tank was bigger say like 18gallons then I wouldn't notice filling it up 1.5 times a week.

I have a 300M if that makes a difference. Although my Cobra averaged 23mpg with the five speed.

DAMN.............I can't seem to get more than about 400-450km per tank :(

.............and my car has been beeping at me about the washer fluid for about 2 weeks now :p It's really annoying..........first the dash beeps and then the evic beeps and gives me this 2 frame animation ;)
