Re: New to Forum~My Toy is a 2005 Touring Convertible but.....
Welcome.
Which turbo, the GT or turbo "lite"?
I have an '05 "lite", and just computed my overall mileage.
56,279 miles, 2,246.778 gallons of regular, 25.049 MPG!
At 50,000 miles it was 24.95, so it does creep upward.
My tips:
-Keep tires inflated. With cold weather coming, remember pressure goes down with temp, so check more often.
-Don't floor it, except to pass - this is the hardest to stick to.
-Get to highest gear and stay there. Giving gas, then easing up, usually get auto to upshift.
I also have an intake (K&N FIPK) and exhaust (BTG) - can't say they help, but very clearly they don't hurt!
