    Do you actually believe the Mileage the computer says you’re getting? Just curious.
    Yes I do. I also use Fuelly on my phone to track my fill up, maintenance, etc. They are spot on. I reset it before the trip and left it until done. From my app, I can see how the segments of my trip were different from each other. For example, on one leisurely segment I made 40, one of the spirited segments I only averaged 33.

    Why do you ask? Just curious

    I know the question wasn't directed to me, but, yes. It's been proven to be pretty dang close.
    2015 ram 1500. 130,000 miles. Towing, hauling, idling, off road use, commuting. You name it, it's done it. Well, I haven't raced it.
    Point being, I quit "double checking" the computer after about 40,000 miles. A few tenths matter in reloading and racing. Not in real world fuel mileage.
    I don’t drive a new enough truck to have the option but my wife’s car has it. I have found it not that accurate especially as the tank gets low. Car is a 2018
    I used to check milage religiously but have given up on it. But when we go on trips I watch a little or at least for the first tank in her car.

    Gears are in. Supposed to break em in soft the first 100 miles. I’m at 97. Can definitely feel a difference when she downshifts during engine braking. Gonna save some wear on the brakes for sure. Went from 4.10 to 4.88. My mileage has suffered for it. This first 97 miles and I’m getting 11mpg avg. It’s been mostly highway and I’ve been soft on her. I’m headed to Big Bend next weekend. I’ll get a chance to lock the front and rear for a proper test.

    I'm shocked he didn't get one sooner!

    Not really... You should have got the n55/b58 instead.

    I wanted a 2, and the only ones left in the DFW area were the 230i. I purchased in Jan, and there were exactly two left in the area. I thought I wanted the 6 cylinder, but this is a 5.3 second 0-60 car with the mileage I reported is awesome. After a thorough test drive I was more than happy with the F22 and B48. Will I move to the 6 in 5 years? Probably

    Looked at a picture of it and was thankful I am in a company truck in Massachusetts ( thereby not exposing my Tacoma to the massive amounts of salt they put on the roads here when it snows)

    Out with the New and in with the Newer

    I got sick of no torque and no arm room in my 2018 2wd tacoma off road with 13Kmiles .

    Ford got me with 19K off this dealer demo with 4K miles on it and 27K trade on the tacoma.

    well the 19K off MSRP came from all of truck months discounts and rebates + it being a demo and a 3K off mailer I got from ford. It looked like junk mail but I checked it out and its basically go into the dealer make your best deal then whip out the flyer and they knock 3K off ford does give it back to them but its just like cash.

    I love that color

    Seems pretty popular these days as well.
    Toyota named it perfectly - they call it Cement
