Ran the same filter for the Z--only two results with an "ultra-light foot" for all model years, both for a 2003. One 100% highway tank good for 33.3, one suburban tank that yielded 24.5. So it seems that very few Z drivers are keeping their foot out of the throttle. |
All of the above mileage is great if you live in a warm weather area........ As a past owner of an
09 Toyota Camery Hybrid I was very disappointed with the mileage. Toyota told me what this car would get in mileage. Wow I thought..... Last year when winter came to the Midwest the mileage dropped dramatically from what it had been........... I didn't know what happened so I went to my dealer for some answers!!! With a chuckle my service advisor informed me that they all do it when winter comes.... To say I was a little pissed is an understatement. So the
GREEN cars are not as green as they are made out to be...............
