How about AC, can't imagine that will kill my mileage as much as some say it does. Like everyone says windows down on town/city roads, and AC on highway. Should I add like 1-2 more psi to my tires?

Could run your tires at max psi

I've never had a brand new car but I hear that once they break in they get better on fuel ( slight improvement)

Try driving a bit more like an old guy lol. Also you can't always believe the Internet... Guys with lifted diesels on the dodge cummins forum claim they get 20+mpg. They probably just don't know math, diesel guys are the worst Dead Horse

Well yea when you’re towing the speed limit is 55 here. Otherwise 65, and I usually go 70.

As for AC vs windows, I’m pretty sure myth busters tested that shit and found that the difference is negligible. You’re going to get drag with your windows down, or put more drag on your engine.

Isn't that speed limit for transport trucks?

We don't have that here

Ugh... So, with all the shenanigans with my rear brakes, last week was on AutoAnything. Had some Hawk rotors and ceramic pads in my cart for my front brakes, which probably need done here in the next coupe months. Was perusing the site after putting in my car make model, yada, yada. Saw they had Borla headers for my car. Was intrigued, so have been looking into it the last little bit, and some people on NASIOC were saying it wouldn't. Really wanted those headers, but was like "ok, what ever dude, at the very least use it for the lift for my car." Earlier today, was perusing the people that make the lift for my car's site, and noticed lo and behold, they have headers that fit my car for the low low price of $800.
Though I did promise to myself I would not buy a new intake/headers until I needed new front brakes. Going to try and hold out.

Anything that's being towed gotta go 55. Not like all people follow that though.

So... They balanced your wheel? That's a 5 min job. INCLUDING jacking up the car, taking the wheel off AND putting it back on again. lol

Shit, 2 nights ago my local tyre centre replaced both my front tyres including mounting/balancing etc within like 15 mins of me pulling up!

It’s a Prius, the main things that are wrong with them cannot be fixed unless you are Roadkill

Hahaha yeah that things cool.

I enjoy downshifting and making my car backfire when I pass a Prius because I’m a child.
