I'm with Ws6. I suspect it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer depending on what kind of software they use. On my Mazda CX 5, it doesn't seem that accurate just between fill ups, but the "lifetime" average, which is trip odometer A that I have never reset since the car was new is accurate...

I had a 2009 Nissan 370Z. A known issue was the gas gauge not showing full even if the tank was filled to overflowing. From discussions on the 370Z Forum it was suggested that adding some MMO to the tank every few fill ups would solve the problem. I always used top tier 91 octane gas for the...

I suspect the price run up in the last few days is in response to several things. They will announce their Q2 earnings on 7/22 and they are expected to show a profit. If they show profits for four quarters in a row that opens the door to a S&P 500 listing. They are getting a needed tax incentive...

I bought my house last September. It was built in October of 2018 so was only a year old. It was furnished completely with Whirlpool appliances. The French door/bottom freezer refrigerator is noisy which is why I hate open floor plans with a combo kitchen/family room area where the TV and stereo...

I'm not even a country music fan but got to see Charlie Daniels play at Gilley's in Dallas for a private industry event back in 1995. He put on a great show and his band members were in top form. It was during the whole line dancing craze and there were a lot of pretty Texas gals kicking up...

Check out Auto Europa Naples. The guy Bill who films and narrates is hilarious.

I am willing to bet that Tesla will be able to provide a 600 mile range by the 2024 model year. And a charge time that goes from a 20% charge to a 75% charge in 15 minutes. Their new Model C compact model, which will have a target price of under $25K is going to be a huge seller, especially for...

I am a former Tesla employee. I don't own a Tesla and likely may never, but that is just a matter of practicality for me at least in the forseeable future. Anyone who invests in Nikola should be prepared to take a good old fashioned financial beating. Investors are expecting it to mirror Tesla...

I wanted to try the Mobil 1 5W-30 AP in my 2019 Mazda CX 5 with the turbo GDI engine because of its low sulfated ash content. I make a lot of short trips and only put around 5-6 thousand miles a year on the car so I was OK with changing it yearly at 5K miles. But I have not been able to find any...

I would ask the seller to include one in the sale of the home. I had one included in my last purchase and my agent suggested that I include one on the home I was selling. That said, they are of limited usefulness. My new home was only a year old when I bought it. I had a roof leak a couple...

Regarding the legend of special "break in oil"; has anyone every queried the oil manufacturers to see if they even formulate such oil, what is different about it and which manufacturers they supply it to ? Or do the manufacturers add some type of additive pack like Moly to the bulk oil they use...

Whack like a fox.

Grampi, I think you will be happy with your CX 9. I have a 2019 CX 5 with the 2.5L turbo and it does get up and go pretty well for a vehicle of its size and weight. Of course I would like another 50 horsepower but I have been satisfied so far with the 250 HP I get with premium fuel. By the way...

I am also a veteran of the hi fi stores back in the late 1970's. i worked for University Stereo, Pacific Stereo and Shelly's Audio in Sou. Cal. There is no substitute for raw power in amplifiers and size of the drivers in the speakers, period. That is if you wish to come anywhere close to...

My experience with ink jet printers mirrors that of others. I had an HP ink jet. I don't print very often so each time I wanted to use it I had to go through the whole maintenance and print head cleaning procedure before it would print an acceptable page. And the cartridges were expensive. I...

Yes the correct glassware does make a difference. Do you think that the myriad of shapes and stem vs. no stem that evolved over the centuries didn't have a purpose ? You don't need Waterford crystal to do it right, proper glassware doesn't have to be expensive. But you should make an attempt...

I was dreading having to work until 66 years and 2 months, my full retirement age. The last 10-12 years I had been working harder and longer with more stress than anytime in my life. A year ago, at age 64 in a somewhat blatant act of age discrimination I was laid off. I took that as a sign from...

As of last week, the Tesla Model 3 outsold both the Honda Civic and the Toyota Camry in the passenger car category in California, the largest market in the USA. They were also the best seller in their price category, beating the pants off of BMW, Audi and Lexus. And they just lowered the price...
