Buyer Questions

Maurine · Maurine

With the arrival of warmer weather, I got 36.5 and 35.3 (it was a rainy week and rain kills fuel economy) mpg on my last two tanks of fuel. Driving is primarily my work commute: 42 miles each way - 20 miles highway, the rest rural roads. Over the last 3000 miles, my HAH has averaged 32.8 mpg. I could probably...

Sylvana · Sylvana

Didn't know that, good to know. Don't most hybrids now have cvt's to maximize mileage though? The whole toyota thing with the gas engine completely shutting off seems totally mt unfriendly to me though. Am I wrong?__________________ I suffer from a condition characterized by extremely long posts...

You cannot understand our roads or driving habits nor can we understand yours. With that in mind it makes no sense for you to tell us about diesels (not available here yet other than trucks) or for us to tell you about driving 12-15 hours non-stop (you don't have enough land mate!). Let's try to keep thin...

Ezekiel · Ezekiel

James, I found your response to my post a little on the glib and condescending side. I don't really take offense to it, because I think I know what you were trying to say. You just came across poorly. Phrases like "quite funny", our "preoccupation", and "bad joke" wil...

If MPG were the only concern people would drive the fit or some other little car. I have a family and I want a nice car with the luxuries and power that I like, I'm not concerned whether I'm getting 20 MPG city or 23 MPG city. I think if MPG is your concern get a small car or hybrid or even better a motorcycle, so...

Elmer · Elmer

Hmm interesting reaction.. It was not, and never will be, my intention to offend anyone, and if indeed you were offended then I am sorry for that.. I was merely giving a diff viewpoint. Is there no alternative? I know you can import cars for your own personal use as my friend in Penn imported a Porche 911 m...

Beverley · Beverley

As you said, we have very limited access to anything else. It makes finding alternatives to petrol nearly impossible. Back-handed and indirect insults directed at people trying to get relatively decent mileage (in regional context) with what is available are fun, but completely pointless and ma...

Collin · Collin

Good MPG is 95% about where you live, and only 5% about carefull driving, most of the Mickey-mouse driving techniques that appear to be - being used in the US to save cash would get you banned from driving in the UK. I would not advocate increasing tyre pressures to save money, safety is far more importan...

Genette · Genette

Wow, that is great mileage you are getting. About the same as I get with my I4 5-speed combo, but I do a lot more city driving and even my highway driving includes a lot of rush hour stop and go conditions. Still I'm very impressed. I have also noticed that my mileage has improved and I also attribute it to th...

Man this is awesome deal... i used it todat (03/27/2008) for the second year in a row successfully.

I just finished up my free trial of three months yesterday (3-24-08) and using the instructions provided on this board got the $77/yr deal.

Yep - The transferred my remaining time to my new subscription so I just got a bonus three months. FYI - When I mentioned that I wanted an invoice to be sent rather than my card be charged automatically, she said there's now a $2 invoice fee. NP . . . I'd rather that than go thru the hassle of trying to get a cre...

Kalysta · Kalysta

Well, I have two cars that just came up for renewal. After speaking to several different reps, no one would give me the $77 deal. They all said it was a one-time offer. I finally told them to forget the renewal and simply cancel my subscriptions. They said "whoa" and transfered me to what they...

Anemone · Anemone

Hi All, I got the 77 dollar deal and my car is just a couple of wks old. I still have about two and a half months to go on my free trial. XM rep gave me the 77 dollar deal which will start when my trial is over. Best of all, I won't be billed till then

Sidney · Sidney

it still works read the posts, just called asked for the $77 deal she said will you cancel if you don't get the plan, i said yes, she said ok already had a 1 year renewal so she credited me for $46 great info thanks guys

Jacquette · Jacquette

It still works. I got the notice in the mail that my cc would be automatically charged at $38.85 per quarter, so I called to renew at the promo rate. The woman told me I could not renew that again, as it was only good for one year. I then told her to transfer me to the cancellation dept. She was annoyed and put m...

Ernesta · Ernesta

My XM ran out in early January and I'd not renewed as NASCAR went to Sirius and the only other channel I listened to was The Boneyard.

Cyndi · Cyndi

Anima · Anima

Folks, Well, I cancelled my XM subscription quite a while ago -- if you recall my story, that would be back when I traded my rattletrap 2004 EX-L coupe in on a 2007 Camry XLE. The top Camry radio system is "satellite ready," and you can either pay huge bucks for the OEM system, or now Terk has com...

Carson · Carson

I just renewed my xm for the 77/yr thing. XM is ok, but they sure seem desperate. Theyve called me like twice a week since I've had my car asking if I want to renew (to which I've replied "it's not worth it to me to pay that much of a monthly fee"). No way in hell I would pay over 10 bucks a month for it t...

When did XM start having commercials, I mean other than their sign up for XM, or whatever, commercials?

My XmRadio in my 2006 accord coupe doesnt work. After owning the car for 8 hours the radio stopped getting a signal. Now the only channels I can get are 1 and 247. It just says loading for no matter how long I leave it on ch. 1. Im gonna bring it to the dealer tomorrow, does anyone know what the problem could b...

Samuel · Samuel

I'm not worried about the $78, since the promotion was actually over when I did it. Still a good deal...I can't go back to FM radio. I just wonder what the extra $1 is. Yeah it sucks that that happened to you, but everyone has their little problems with a company, even if it's the best company like Honda ......

Haylie · Haylie

...is the wet braking only 3' longer than the dry braking on the CR tests? Granted the dry braking for 60-0 (142 ft) wasn't great compared to the Camry, Altima, and Fusion. But its wet braking was only 3' more (145 ft) and compared very well to the other 3, even beating the Camry by 4'. Just curious what all...

I know there are a number of posts related to gas mileage. I just wanted to throw another one in the mix as it relates to my continually improving fuel economy. My last three tanks have been 27.9, 28.8, 29.9, 29.2, and now 30.1 mpg respectively. That's a pretty nice trend, especially considering gas pri...
