Oh no!

Look at my mileage!



Glad it isn't Friday the 13th, then I'd really be in trouble!

Don't take it the wrong way, but sometimes speedometers are amusing. That thing goes all the way to 150! In my 200SX, it goes to like 140 or something, and like yours it compresses the 0-10mph range. Who are they kidding with that?

Also, I assume you made it to 131314 ok?

Aurora40-my car burst into flames and exploded at 131313.9 miles.



klnyc-for some odd reason, my 626, even with a V6 is geared lower than my Honda was. At 3000 rpm, my Accord was going 78 mph. What is even weirder is that my Accord was a bit quicker off the line despite the slightly higher gearing but the 626 is a lot quicker from 50 mph up.

Sherman8r44-camera phone, easy to aim without any concentration.

Yeah I have the same problem in my Grand Prix. $300 to get fixed... ouch.

I wouldn't look at my mileage if it was that - I'd be a little more worried about the engine check light that appears to be on...

Read the rest of the thread, it is a very minor problem that doesn't affect drivability or mileage.
