with LM60's you might be able to wing toronto winters, but i always
thought my car was a sitting duck in the ice/snow when i ran my G in the
winter with LM60's. my car was fine, but could not help but feel i will
get hit by other cars. never doing that again.

Washed it. Got home and reminded myself yet again that I should not have bought a black car.

Topped off my brake fluid reservoir. I had to open one of my bottles of motul to do it, so I guess I better go ahead and install those new SS brake lines that have been sitting in my garage for several months now. I don't like to keep brake fluid in plastic bottles around for very long as they have been known to allow moisture inside once opened.

I got this picture from the painter. The shaved emblem turned out NICE!

Watched my gas gauge drop from 1/2 to less than three dots with a 57 miles range warning...although I only drove 40 miles today. This was my first fill up after break in and my trip meter says I've only gone 275 miles. Will be filling up in the morning with fingers crossed this is an anomaly, cause that would be awful gas mileage for a mostly highway driven DD, usually with cruise on. No, I don't worry about gas mileage, but this really poor rate (based on my driving habits) could indicate potential fuel line issues somewhere, since it is on a car with only 1700 miles on it and not tracked or even hot rodded...Shell premium, so not the gas...

Last weekend mine went from 4 lights to 0 lights to 2 lights to 0 lights to 4 lights over the course of 10 straight-ish miles.

Filled up on way to work this morning and car only took 14.12 gallons (and was showing quarter tank on gauge again). Quick math tells me made 19.62 miles per gallon. Last full fill up was 10 Jul and showed 20.01, but I was in break in period and trying to not exceed 4k rpm. So all appears okay, just wish gauge wasn't so flaky with 5 gallons left in tank...another 100 miles is 2-3 extra days I could go between fill-ups! Maybe as I own the car longer and learn it's nuances better, I'll feel more confident relying on on odometer/distance driven...or I'll just resign myself to filling up at 1/4 tank remaining.

Yeah but you drive like a granny or have a lot of highway miles. The only time I've seen over 21 is after my trip to the dragon b/c it was highway miles.

Granny driving during break in - yes. My car only gets driven on weekends and you know how traffic is around here

I do not plan to get over 20mpg ever again

Computer says 21.5 average with 38mph. I'm happy with the 19-20, even more happy it looks consistent from tank to tank. Zero mods yet, so some extra breathing may help as well...as someone above said, sports car and I get it! That's actually why I bought it

i refill at about the 1/2 mark. i like to keep my fuel pump submerged and fuel sensors lubed...oh and not getting stranded from fast right turns.
