ryry's new ride

ryan s · Nov 30, 2013

took it for a little road trip today and almost finished the first tank of gas which was mostly my normal commute plus ~150 miles of all highway today, averaged 26.5mpg on 14.35 gallons (of 87) :iranmaybe:

the 6th gen got like 24.5 on my commute and would hit 28-30 on the highway.

needless to say, i drive the 8th gen a little less...carefully :lawl:

Nice! How did you like the ride? More comfortable than the 6thgen? I got only 27mpg on my first tank. But I think only 10 of the 300+miles were interstate.

Soooooo much better :lawl:

the ride is stiffer but still comfy and there's basically zero body roll. Handles bad roads nicely overall, even with 18" tires.

"only" 27mpg mostly city? :lawl:

the 6th Gen would go down that far with 10% city driving :lawl:

True, I think my 6th gen with the roof rack only got like 22-23 on mixed driving.

a couple weeks before christmas, i bought a few small things...my parents "gave" me an OEM cargo net to add to the (used) trunk mat. also got some rubber floor mats, some touchup paint, and a handful of bumper clips.

too cold to install anything but the floor mats and trunk tray :squintrun:
