Decent pics (car looks nice) but you had the sun on the wrong side.

I probably could have gotten 500 miles on a tank when I went through eastern Washington to MrGone's, but I chickened out on the way back and got gas in Yakima. IIRC, I got 29-30 mpg and it was well over 400 miles.

I saw your cruise light on so I figured I'd ask, how many gallons is a tank on one of these things anyway?

Damn you people and your good gas milage! At 243miles, I only got about 90 left and I am on the side of the road, and that is with 80% freeway!

Nice max though! I love it!

No, stats say 18.5 on All maxima's, but if I fill up from pretty much empty (gas light is on and everything) the most I can squeeze out is 15.

And what's wrong with brown interior?!

Some blacked out tailights seem like they'd look pretty damn good on there because of how the lighting makes them look black.

Like me, a fault gas gauge?

Mine showed 3/4 of a tank. I topped it off with almost 2 gallons.
My car exagerates. <--- pardon my spelling, I'm an numbermaniac.

I dont think the gauge lied when the gas light was on and my car ran outta gas.

It wouldn't really be that surprising, most hybrids would get better MPG without the weight of all the things that make it a hybrid. But thats not what the gov't wants soooo thats what we get.
