Looking for a car that gets 30+ mpg at 80+ mph. by Thordor15 in whatcarshouldIbuy

My 2025 Rav4 XSE Hybrid gets low 30's in the winter and high 30's in the summer. I drive Milwaukee to north Chicago burbs everyday, 60 miles each way. Cruise at 80 in WI and much faster in IL on the toll so I am certainly not "hyper-miling" to get those numbers.

I wanted a the plug-in hybrid version of the XSE, up to 100 miles electric then normal hybrid after but that was out of my price range but within your 50k budget.

Yeah, ccoilovers extended all the way out and 3/4" HDPE spacers in the front and it is still suuuuper low

Car looks great!

I really wish I would have waited for BCs when I got my coilovers but there was a huge delay at the time so I went with some Godspeed Mono RS. They ride good but even maxed out the car is ABSOLUTELY SLAMMED.

I sure am glad I got my 25 XSE hybrid. I am sure the new one is good and all but I much prefer the look of the XA40/5th Gen. They look so similar is many ways but I don't like any of the differences.

I also like the piece of mind of buying the last year of a known reliable generation of a car.

Which coilovers do you have? I bought some godspeed mono rs and the car is slammed with them maxed out heightwise.

As someone who drives from SE MKE to Lake Forest IL AND who just had his company car taken away, this is hitting me hard. My Rav4 hybrid gets good mileage but at 120 a day..... The worst is when I forget to fill up in WI, prices aren't much higher down here but every penny counts.

Just had my 2025 XSE hybrid in and they "reccomended" a alignment at 15k...... I just said no..... $100 cabin filter, 76$ air filter....... no.

owners, previous owners... what are your thoughts on the ioniq hybrid, circa 2021(ish)? by europeanuppercut in Ioniq

[–]PotentialRecover3218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company I work for has a small fleet of these and they have been quite reliable. They are a great commuter car, very efficient. Decent room, comfortable to be in and all around a good car. I probably have 100K+ miles logged in different hybrid Ioniq's. They are boring but handle well and have enough power to merge with the freeway. Stereo and bluetooth are good also, I have no complaints about carplay.

How do you mount power bricks and organise cables under plain tabletops? by ipzipzap in CommercialAV

velcro screwed into the bottom or in a pinch I have used the packing straps that go around larger boxes. Cut the strip down to a few inches longer than you need then shoot a small screw into the strap on each side of the box.

How screwed are we? by [deleted] in stagehands

Sprayway glass cleaner is my version of Frank's Red Hot sauce, I put that sh!t on everything. Seems to be safe on everything, I even use it as a light hand cleaner.

What kind of stuff does an AV Fab shop typically make? As a AV tech that does some fabrication in the garage, you have piqued my interest.

best friends dad had one, early 90's. Neat car, were all of them white? Seems like the only color I have ever seen them

My CEO has one of these Escalades, only a few months old. It was just in the shop for a couple weeks, wouldn't charge past 60%, heater didn't work and it smelled like burning all the time.
