On Saturday, I signed up at an autoX school along w/ 2 other fellow owners. Learned the basics in the beginning and by the end of the day looked like seasoned...
Folks, Sorry if this question has been posted here before. I thought the 2004 XRS matrix was rated at 180 Hp. Toyota.com states that the 2005 Matrix XRS has...
That's a very interesting question when you take a look at the HP rating of the '03 XRS (which I have): 180hp! Is the engine still the 2zz-ge? Simple changes...
I just finished a fuel economy test on my 04 XR 2WD manual under fairly optimal conditions. The summary is that I got almost exactly 40 MPG (U.S. Gallons),...
I like the formula you put together. It's simple to work the math to come up with an reasonably accurate MPG. I'd like to do the same fuel economy test, but...
How many of you will go out of your way to get to a station that has a lower fuel cost? This weekend I really needed some fuel (my light had been on for quite...

Like your posts Karl. I do notice the same swings and I tracked my mileage since Day #1. Someone posted its the way the gas fume pressure trips the pump...
I concur with this old post. Just saw these Scions and, frankly, a great econobox for another niche. Its smaller, but even tiny cargo space relative to its...
I notice at www.scion.com <http://www.scion.com/> they make a big deal about the "no haggle" experience: The price posted at your dealer's is the price you'll...
Forgot about that no-haggle, you're probably right. Minor correction, what I meant was someone selecting an econoMatrix may find more econo in the scion! The...

Here I go, answering my own question. I poked around some more and found our where the T-one connector goes on a Matrix. If you open up the rear hatch and...
