I just bought a Honda Odyssey becase I need to carpool. It has a 20/28 gas mileage sticker. A big factor in my decision to buy it was how good that was. I have had it a week, with only skinny small children in it (and after dropping them off, only me!) My driving is semi-rural suburban, where I drive on back roads going about 45 mph with occasional stopsigns or lights. Definitely NOT city driving! Well, I got around 17 mpg, which isn't much better than a Hummer! Who is lying?????? Has anyone else had this experience?????

I'm in the process of purchasing a truck for the purpose of pulling an RV? Being new at this I am wondering whether an automatic or standard is best for pulling.

My Husband and I have only been married a short time, and I admit I may have gained a little weight, But .... or should I say BUTT... is all he wants, nothing else.
He always jokes in front of our friends that it's okay to come in the back door as long as he wipes his feet first.
Is there anyting I can do to spice things up the way they used to be ?????
It really hurts my feelings when he talks this way in front of other people.

I have yet to own a car that has an accurate speedo reading. As you reach higher speeds most cars are upto 10mph faster on the speedo than you are actually doing. Yes, a backup 'normal' speedo would prob be needed as the odd time you may lose your signal but GPS speedos that are 100% true are the future? Lots of cars have sat navs built in so the technology is already in the car. Any ideas??

I'm looking to get a car, either a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, for their reliability and resale value. I'm not sure if it is better to buy brand new or to get a 2004 or 2005. Money is not really an optical as far as buying new or used but I don't want to throw my money away. I'd like to get the best value that I could but still have a fairly new and reliable car.

I live in NJ so car insurance is expensive enough. I wanted to finance a used car, i would put down around $2500 and finance the other $7500. But when you finance a car you need collision insurance. Is it cheaper with a used car? I don't think i can afford both!

Could overheating an engine make the engine use more/excessive engine oil (motor oil)?

BTW, my engine spec VW Lupo 1.4 litre 16V (petrol) and does the coolant temperature sensor controls the radiator fan on this particular model because I haven't noticed the fan being switched on in a while?

I bought some motorcycle leather trousers a few months ago and have put a little weight on since then. the trousers fit lovely round my legs but they are now just too tight around my tummy. Is there anyway i can stretch the waist an inch or so i will i have to wait for them to give a little on their own? ( they have only been worn 7 - 8 times and i can do them up...they are just not very comfortable!!)
