Sunny 84, gusting 111mpg

Post by homey »

Short ride to Honda for a quart of over priced who-de-who brand oil must be getting a spiff tried to darken my ride, but I was grinning on the way home when I noticed this... and that was a fairly level ride WITH the 10 dollar motor oil on board.

maybe its almost out of gas, drawing fume! You know I read the gage might be a little screwy, the reason I was even looking at the mpg. Rarely do you get better than advertised so I will forgive Honda for jacking me up on oil.

Nice mileage. BTW, some of us buy a 1/2 gallon of full synthetic motor oil for about the same price. :P

I have read all the discussion over synthetic pros/cons in here regarding new engines (good read) and for the record this was Honda's pick, non synthetic. Oh no, now you know I road squid :oops:
