Took it out on its first long trip. 2 hour drive, all pretty flat highway literally about 4 lights.
Got 45 mpg on the way but only 38 on the same way back. Was a little disappointed with that seeing some of the numbers you guys post and I've gotten up to 48 on a 25 minute trip.
Most of my trips are no more than 10 to 20 minutes ,very few miles so I was expecting a little more.

I installed a PRL Stage 1 intake on my 2020 Si Sedan. Hoping the filter will help a little with mileage (?)

Tinted my reverse lights and rear reflectors. I dig it. We’ll see if I leave it like that. I bought some smoked reflectors from iJDMtoy, but had some extra tint so did the reflectors.

Like the before and after photos. The smoked out backup and reflectors looks really good :thumbsup:

File this under the "what was I thinking?" category...

After the crappy winter weather around here my car was a bit of a salt covered mess. So today, on a clear sunny day I decided to use my waterless wash to clean it. I sprayed the side of my car and let it soak in for a minute...

Then I went to wipe and buff it off. But there was a problem. The side of my car was now completely covered with icy, frozen waterless wash. I forgot to mention it was barely 20 degrees (and windy) outside when I decided to detail the car. Oops.

Lesson learned. :doh:

This weather has been killing me (rainy and 30s here in Virginia) waiting for a sunny day to take care of this dirty black car..

I tried to clean some dirt of with my lucas and it was frozen by the time I went to wipe it. Not to mention I've seen one snowflake this week, but my car has salt all over the bottom. Ugh.

That one thing I don’t miss snow salty roads and freezing weather and a dirty car BUT the Florida summer’s it rains at least three times a day and very hard and boiling hot so trying to wash your car in the summer could be a pain in Florida
