Re: (isaaclud)

I noticed there was no mention of cruise control so far. Has anyone used it with these posted mpg's? I got a 09 2.4L 5sp with cruise just for better mpg. I travel min 100 miles a day 97% highway. Only had it for less then 2 days now so cant post any results yet.

Re: 09 owners with HIDs yet? (lowincash)

I just found a kit for the vibe. $45 for the foglights, and about $65 for the headlamps. Currently looking into possible heat issues. (Family member had fog lenses melt on a grand prix with HIDs) Anyone have any insight?

It seems most people have a static answer about which grade of fuel to use. Ive seen different cars do better with various grades and brands. I say play around with a few different picks and see what your car likes for your driving habits.
