Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

For anyone interested: after 2700 miles on the meter, I decided to play with the MPG capability and see what it does. Took a 70 mile trip today approx 30 on 4 lane and speed 60 to 75, aprox 40 miles on two lane and speed varied from 0 to 50 with stop signs, traffic lights, etc. I deactivated the "auto stop/start" function. MPG upon arrival was 25. On the return trip (same route ) i activated the auto stop/start and arrival mpg was 27.2. For a 6cyl , AWD vehicle of this size ( and requires only 87 oct. fuel ) I am very happy!
