Ya, tint place here tried to charge me $450 to just remove the old stuff, ended up costing $450 for removal reinstall and then tinted my passenger side.

Have to get mine re-done too.......13 years with the same tint on the window with a few scratches and rub spots....so it's time.

Lisa, Welcome to the BB, sorry about your misfortune, sounds like your starting anew...good for you.....good choice in rides (SE) like the others said...but then again, I was always partial to the MX leather....LOL.......the rest know what I'm talking about....again...WELCOME!!

Factory specs show it's a 50L tank = 13.2 U.S. Gal.

specs show a 50L tank, but I have yet to put over 40L in it and I've driven it with the fuel empy light on for 50 kms or so. I think the most I ever squeezed in there was around 38L(don't hold me to this tho, could be wrong). I just never found the tank to be that big.

It really is 50L. You just need to run on your gas light a bit longer

I have run it dry, put in about 4L from my spare tank, then filled up about 10k later with about 49.3L. I've also put in 47 and 45L on other occasions.

On this past Kelowna trip, I drove all the way from Vernon to Calgary on one tank. Coming through Cochrane my light came on. About 50 km later I filled up with only about 40L.

heh. That BP sure is good on gas. I bagged it for about half the way home chasing those Ferraris and Lamorghinis and still managed 32.3MPG

Ouch dude. that's pretty bad. Even James got about 30MPG between Calgary and Revelstoke with his KLZE. We were hoofin it pretty good on that stretch too.

I got about 32mpg as well, fully loaded, going fast up and down the mountains.

Is Montes' mileage so bad because of the old IM on it?? Will he get better mileage with the proper ZE manifold or should we look for a different problem?? Thanks
