I'll keep trying.......Wondering what the official numbers are going to be like. I thought Kool said we'd know in 30 days, a month ago.

I had seen this before but I've also read a bunch of other stuff too. I bet the 20% better fuel economy is 20% better base fuel consumpution ( fuel/hp) not 20% better than what we're getting. I don't know what to think lately with my fuel mileage, I got 17 around town the last tank fuel. It has never done this in the past but has repeated twice. I wonder when the offical announcement will be made? | ||
