How? I'm convinced I can only get roughly 550 km range on my car but I've never ran it below 1/4 tank. If this is a more realistic number, that is comforting.

Pretty much melted my credit card buying new things for the car.

Bought headlamps, sharkfin antenna, frameless rearview mirror, new fog lights to replace my broken ones and grimspeed strut bar.

Fixed up my headlights that had moisture in them and started installing parts for my STX build.

Got the Perrin CAI, intake tube, and lightweight pulley so far.

One on the left has been re-sealed with TheRetroFitSource butyl glue, the one on the right still has moisture inside:

The retrofitsource is dope, do you have D2S projectors as well?

I drove from Toronto to Mont Tremblant on the 401, cruise control set at 112 km/h, right lane, Petro 94, 205/55R16 winter tires.

I've never gotten this type of mileage before since I'm always in stop and go traffic

Pretty sweet isn't it? I am the opposite since I very rarely drive in stop and go. I get pissy when my mileage read out goes over 6.8 L/100kms.

Nope. I just got the butyl tape to fix my stock lights, they do have some awesome parts though.

Got it back from the Toyota dealership after it's last servicing under warranty... with a nail in the tire. Guess I'll just have to get those new rims and tires I wanted and put winters on the stock rims.

I got a nail in my rear right tire two months into owning the car. I proceeded to have winter tires put on the stock rims, and that day bought four wheels and nicer tires.

T'was an expensive nail

Left Guelph this morning, drove through stop and go in Toronto, went 473km on 33l. I was very pleased with that.
