Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

Okay.

The 18's are worthless on fresh marbles. Looking forward to the new studded 225/50 R17 Goodyears (on wheels weighing 11lbs less each!).
Even still, if the tires can find an un-marbly path they allow considerable grip, which surprised me. But I'm sliding most of the time........

Last tank Gulf premium 25.8 MPG; this tank I'm on will be better.

I got alotta the stupid stuff out of my system with the first one, so I think my underbody panels are still intact.

It then showed "330".
I think if you reset the PG counters when you fill up and then drive it easy or take it on a long trip, you'll see the DTE at a much higher number. The key is the reset.

So I had to take a quick 40-mile jaunt yesterday morning; that tank of Mobil premium returned 22 MPG (147.7 miles, 6.705 gal).
Ouch.

But I did make it in 36 minutes.

Some weirdities:

The tires are wearing evenly.
Hitting a sharp-edged bump 'rings' the whole car.
This windshield is as hard as the last one.

Had its oil changed and new air filter on 10/15 (my birthday, coincidentally) at 30,005 miles.
Ahhhh.

Last few tanks ranged from 26.1 up to 29.2 MPG, Mobil premium.

Since I service my Kizashi solely at the dealer, I assume, as before, they've installed Suzuki filters.
