New brakes!

[Gussie2000]

Hey erland !

Got a ??? for you.....

Are driving with your TOD in 100/100 mode all the time ?

If so adjust the TOD to run 25/100 which in fact will only illuminates the 1rst lights on the front wheels & all three at the rear on the TOD display.

That would help you gain some more MPG for sure.

In regards of your new brake upgrade you did the right thing;Less dust,more torque pressure & less wear.

I did the same except the lines,i haven't do that so far,but it's in my list of must do.

I'll be taken care of the undercarriage next week with antirust coat & also have my engine light giving me head aches

Nope tod is running 25/100. I read thru the service bullitines found one about aftermarket alarms causing codes and loss of mileage but am not getting a code. Talked to my alarm installer and he says the only way to know is to disconnect the alarm and drive it. Gonna do that when I fill up next. When I say horrible am talking 10-12 mpg in town or less. I admit to having a heavy foot but when I had the motor replaced I was getting more like 15-16 in town with that same foot. The engine is running strong, idles good, exhaust does not smell rich, could this maybe be due to a cracked fuel line? I do not smell fuel though.

To despite any possibility of fuel leaks you better have it to the shop.although you don't get any smell.

My best bet is going easier on the gas pedal,i taugh my self to drive with ease,it do help a lot improve the mileage.

Also,if you are carrying stuff in your trunk that will cost you some extra pennies at the pump.

Check your tires pressure,make sure the psi aren't less then indicated on the sidewall.balancing/alignment if needed will help altogether

Thanks for the advice I will try to keep my foot out of it. Vx is too fun to drive to hold all the pony's back. Tire pressure is already set. Already checked my FPR also which is good.
