That car --- 10 minutes warm-up on the auto-starter, <10 miles driven (NJ is all city driving, especially on the highways!), park

I live in NJ and commute to NYC via NJ Transit Busses.

As for your question, listen to my ex-gf in my 0-60 video that was shot in my neighborhood! Video
7.4 sec. with a bad 1-2 shift .... not bad.

....done, if we get caught


There's a road in my neighborhood that's pretty straight and level. 25 mph residential road with double yellow lines. The start is with the rear tires just in front of the 2 foot wide speed bump, LOL.

That would've been pretty funny ..... looking back. We still talk a little. She was pretty good with going fast, just not in neighborhoods. We'd take road trips and she'd sleep right through 100 mph rips with other cars, no racing, just spirited driving on open road.

We both had 6th gens. My V6 would average about 280 miles to a tank and hers would get up to 400 or a little more.

HPJ, you can get it that low with a 4 banger?

i was saying 18 MPG was accurate for what you said and how the video shows how aggresive you drive lol

HEll yeah you can...one time i had like 17 MPG but thats cuz i was testing that theory about speeding and how driving aggressively can put a sharp drop in your MPG...that hurt when i calculated it...but usually i get 22 - 25 MPG and thats with a failed O2 sensor because i have no catalytic convertor...18 MPG is pretty good for alright for a V6.
