Sorry, I can't figure out how to make the image appear within my post? I posted it on a site that I moderate, copied the link, and used the "Img" before and after the link. Still won't appear? |

Needs to be in your gallery first. Once there, copy and paste the 'bb code' you see below the picture - Or just get it into your gallery and someone will do the pasting for you

The -11 f wound not bother me but the 19.1 av MPG would be a killer |

I'm not sure which is worse, the temperature or the 19.1 mpg Actually this is the best mpg I've seen, and by my calculations, is optimistic. At my last fill-up, I was getting around 17.

Forgot to mention that, with windchill it ended up being MINUS 36 Celsius, and that wasn't anywhere near what the lowest temperature was in the state. |

I once passed thru Minnesota on a train (the empire builder) , I did intend to stop off at St Paul but I was chatting to a very pretty girl (Cindy) who lived in Chicago so I stopped on the train instead . That was February time and also flipping freezing...she wasnt though

For sure it's starting OK and the consumption is alright, because I can bet it is a gasoline engine, right? And gasoline engines start OK down to and beyond -40 degrees Celsius. |

I'll bet she was rather smitten with your accent Yes, it's a gasoline engine. For whatever reason, LR decided not to send us all of the fancy-schmancy vehicle choices that you get. Only 'choice' is gasoline and automatic transmission for us losers. |

Adam, it's time to get married. Here's Eve. Pick! Joking aside, it's a good engine and if taxes and fuel prices here were smaller I would have picked the 3.2 engine with autobox. |

Not quite $1/gal. 3,45US (2,56 Euro) for premium, which is probably paltry pocket change compared to what you are sodomized for at the pump. |

So, in other words, almost 1$/Liter.
