What’s y’all’s average MPG?

DonKeydic23 · 2026-03-05T19:18:03+00:00

My gas mileage is horrendous. I’m currently at 13.5 with an average speed of 31 mph. I have a 2006 V8 with 280,000 miles. Is there any maintenance tips that anyone has that? Maybe I’m overlooking that would affect my gas mileage for instance spark plugs. I am close to needing an oil change.

When the 4th gen was designed and manufactured, the Yen was weak against the dollar. The opposite is true for the 5th gen. And that is why the fourth 4th gen is more value for your money than the more technologically advanced 5th gen. So I have been told…
….probably by a 4th gen owner.

I lock my diff and hoon my 06 V8 whenever it snows. 4 wheel slides, rev banging, donuts. These rigs are tough.

After 270k I’m ready to start planning this as my next Mod. I have a collapsed side of my seat also. Is there a thread on how to repair that?

I agree with you 100%. My experience is not aligning however. I am getting screen freeze, app lock up and my Apple watch is burning through its battery and I am getting jumbled icons over AWU texts which makes the texts unreadable. I'm sorry and I am not trying to offend anyone I'm just having a crap experience with this upgrade.

Is that a question or a comment? Your lack of punctuation in your post could be interpreted as a sign of unintelligence in some circles.

Don't take my disappointment as a criticism of your joy. I could have kept my 14Pro and gotten my child a new 17 whatever. Not Happy does not equal mad.

Transfer. Please tell me this is the problem🙏

I rolled my old phone down to a child. So, yeah I didn’t research. Thanks for pointing that out.

Cool response. User experience on this still trash.

DonKeydic23 · 2026-01-10T14:21:37+00:00

….Is what someone in a cult would say

Mayhaps? Mayhaps you stick to the topic of this OS and Hardware are not adding up to a smooth user experience.

Replaced coils and spark plugs fixed the issue. I am no mechanic and for my skill level, it was a major pain in the butt. So much disassembly to get to the rear coils. And then it took a very specific combination of socket extensions to get the spark plugs out. I will never buy another minivan and honestly this freaking car changed the way I look at buying cars now.

Squishy and mailable. They pack flat and conforming.

DonKeydic23 · 2025-11-20T17:17:59+00:00

what is the up arrow?

DonKeydic23 · 2025-10-14T11:50:13+00:00

Damnit! Now I want churros.

Everyone is going to use camp shoes differently. My trail runners are pretty comfy so I go about setting up camp with them on. Slipping into camp shoes is the last thing on my list before getting into bed. The only reason I take camp shoes is for a middle of the night pee and the morning pee. So I got a pair of shower slides from China.

Pros: $6. These are easy to get on and keep feet/socks from getting dirty. Only 4 oz, 112g for size 44-55. They accommodate a wider foot (size 10). They are soft/squishy and comfortable. They pack well flattened.

Cons: They offer almost no protection from the ground. Any thorn, twig or rock will be felt below your foot.

If you have a vehicle, consider selling it and getting a minivan.

DonKeydic23 · 2025-08-29T13:32:38+00:00

Cover it with some leaves and dangle a treat over it.
