When it's this far below zero, it takes a lot of power just to push the car forward. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What? Please explain what you mean by this. Is the dense, cold air offering so much more resistance that cars actually require more power to move at a given speed? Is that what you're implying? >> <<I think mark10t mean that when the cold makes the grease and oil in the motor and transmission line very thick and almost solid (it feels so anyway ) the power to overcome theese factors increases and cosumes fuel....right mark10t ?>> Yup. Everything gets real stiff at these temp's. I woke up to a reading of -32.4 deg. F this AM- and that's not windchill!! I remember a cold spell like this back in the early '70's and when I pushed the clutch in on my '71 Capri 2000, it stayed on the floor for a while! You didn't really have to use the brakes, you just stopped pushing on the gas pedal and the car would come to a stop on it's own. BBBBRRRRRRRR!!!! -Mark (It's warmed all the way up to -20 deg. F!!)

Syn gear box fluid or AFT is the way to go with really cold temperatures. Old gear box oil will actually have a higher viscosity then when it was new. The older it gets, the thicker it gets.

And Chicane, what could I do besides look at the "meter" on the gas pump and rely on that?
This morning I started at 08:00 heading south on the E4, 400 km and 4 hours later I'm at my work, filling the tank with 33.5L of fuel. The average speed seems to be 100km/h...agree ? And when using a common used formula 400/33.5 I get the result of 11,940298507462686567164179104478 and that is how many "km" I got on every "L" of fuel. If you wish, you can convert it to "mpg". /Sonny

OK Rob, so your SVX doesn't get the same mileage others have. Why is that so hard to believe? Inherent mechanical differences, driving style differences, recent tune-up (O2 sensors, plugs, air filter, oil change), major mechanical work (new cat cons).
Nick (Mr Pockets) has reported better than 30mpg from his SVX. I have no reason to doubt the veracity of his claim. Todd
