Apr 23, 2012It's a simple story of simple people intentionally told in simple terms, and the only issues with which it's concerned are those of pure personal connection.
Apr 26, 2012Helmer-writer Lee Kirk's deliberately offbeat romance, a vehicle for wife Fischer, will undoubtedly win friends through its cockeyed-optimistic view of romance.
Grace, especially, gives a turn that could be a twerpy cousin to Tom Cruise's character in "Magnolia"; Fischer's dead-eyed responses to this Mensa-member/player who think he's book jacket-hot are priceless.
Apr 24, 2012Kirk, who wed Fischer in 2010, perfectly captures her all-thumbs charm, and ubiquitous character actor Messina steps into the lead with ease, showing off some impressive mime skills to boot.
Pleasantly charming but instantly forgettable.
Tim eventually evolves out of smugness, but unfortunately, the film merely trades it for sappiness. Fischer, meanwhile, imbues Janice with a wounded soulfulness that cuts right through the clichés. The less said about a hideously wigged Topher Grace as a smarmy self-help author, the better.
Fischer at least has personal and romantic reasons to be involved with this film, but audiences are unencumbered by such obligations, and should heed the title's warning sign and opt out of Kirk, Fischer, and Messina's fruitless little circle of pain.
Apr 23, 2012Fischer and Messina may make a cute pair, but amidst such contrivances, they're powerless to make this RomCom seem like anything more than a creaky retread of obvious indie clichés.

The show revolves around a new family made up of a mom and a dad, each with children from previous marriages. They buy a dog for their kids in the hopes of uniting them as siblings and friends. But as it turns out, their new dog Stan runs his very own blog! Hilarity ensues as the kids get to know each other and Stan tells all on his website about his new and dysfunctional fam.
We caught up with 13-year-old G Hannelius, who plays Avery on the show—and we we're super psyched to learn that she is a GL subscriber…and it is her favorite magazine! How cool is that?
Read on to see what your fellow #GLgirl G has to say about family, pets, and everything in between!
GL: What do you love most about your character, Avery?
G: I love that she is a problem solver. Whenever a problem arises, she always comes up with a solution!
What's one of the funniest things that has happened on the Dog with a Blog set so far?
Definitely when I had to smash a watermelon on a table with a wooden mallet. Pieces were flying everywhere and the whole cast was drenched in watermelon juices. Plus, we had to do it THREE times!
Do you have any pets in real life?
Yes, I have two dogs. One is actually a rescue, like Stan.
If you were to dress a pet up in a Halloween costume this year, what would it be?
I actually bought a pumpkin costume for my miniature pincher, but he wouldn't keep the little pumpkin stem hat on.
If you could swap places with any animal for a day, which would you pick?
I think that I would be one of my own two dogs because they get so much love, care and attention.
Got a funny family story you can share with us?
When I lived in Maine, my parents, a friend and I went out on a boat to have lunch on another island. My dad dropped the anchor and when we came back a few hours later, we couldn't find our boat. We had to ask a man to take us out on his to look for it. We eventually found it close to another far away island! The tide had risen and loosened the anchor. It was pretty scary when it happened, but now I look back and laugh.
Be sure to catch G on TV when Dog with a Blog premieres tonight at 9:40 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel.
What would your pets say if they could talk? Blog about it, babes.

"If we are absolutely modern—and we are—it's because Rimbaud commanded us to be."—John Ashbery, from the preface
First published in 1886, Arthur Rimbaud's Illuminations?the work of a poet who had abandoned poetry before the age of twenty-one?changed the language of poetry. Hallucinatory and feverishly hermetic, it is an acknowledged masterpiece of world literature, still unrivaled for its haunting blend of sensuous detail and otherworldly astonishment. In Ashbery's translation of this notoriously elusive text, the acclaimed poet and translator lends his inimitable voice to a venerated classic.

Kris Jenner's Wedding Advice to Kim Kardashian: Don't Blink
With a super high profile wedding just days away for daughter Kim Kardashian, momager Kris Jenner has some words of advice!
Mainly, she wants Kim to take it all in and enjoy the day rather than get caught up in it all.
"[I want her to] enjoy every moment and take mental snapshots and just try to remember everything because it goes by so fast," Kris told Life & Style at the Kardashian Kollection for Sears Launch at Colony nightclub in Hollywood last night. "You know it's going to be over in the blink of an eye, and I just want her to remember every single second."
Of course, filming their reality show makes for a great backup plan.
"The good news is we have a camera crew there to capture the whole thing in case she forgets anything," Kris added. "I look back on Khloe and Lamar's wedding, and every time I watch the wedding special on E!, I cry and see something new."
Speaking of something new...could there be an addition to the Kardashian Klan anytime soon?
"Of course I am [begging them to start a family]!" Kris said, as any MOTB would! Looks like she may have to wait a beat on that, because Kim won't even have time for a honeymoon -- she's off to film Kourtney and Kim Take New York this fall.

How To Freeze Cinnamon Rolls and Bake Them Later
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
It's unfair. Fresh, hot, from-scratch cinnamon buns are a beloved breakfast treat, especially on holidays like Christmas morning. Who doesn't want to wake up to the smell of cinnamon and caramelizing sugar, or stumble down to the kitchen to find fresh-from-the-oven, slathered-in-icing cinnamon buns, just waiting for you to dive in? But in order for those fresh, hot, from-scratch buns to make it out of the oven any time before noon, someone has to rise well before dawn in order to get the whole process rolling. Not very fun or fair for the breakfast cook!
Until now. Here is our method for how to par-bake and freeze your homemade buns in advance, allowing you to bake them off and ice them just in record time for a lovely breakfast.
How a Small Granola Company Preps for the Holidays
As any retailer or producer knows: it's that time of year. In fact, for many of us, that time of year has almost passed and we're more than ready for a deep glass of wine. While I've been writing for The Kitchn for a few wonderful years now, I also own a granola company here in Seattle and I thought it might be interesting to share our experience of ramping up, preparing, and kicking a little granola booty this holiday season.
Recipe: Sticky Toffee Pudding Sundaes
Recipes from The Kitchn
If you'd told me ten years ago that sticky toffee pudding was made with dates of all things, I would have told you I didn't like sticky toffee pudding, take it away. It took a few more years to figure out that toffee pudding doesn't actually taste like dates and even if it did, that dates are, in fact, quite amazing. Thank goodness my eyes (and stomach) saw the light: now the over-the-top English dessert remains at the top of my hedonistic hall of fame.
Recipe: Spicy Sticky Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing
Recipes from The Kitchn
I come from a generously-sized family, the sort that prompted wide eyes and under-the-breath counting from strangers who glimpsed our brood at the library or grocery store. I'll spare you the counting and say that I have five brothers and two sisters, so eight of us, plus parents, and now assorted spouses and in-laws. Christmas is an all-day affair for us, with stockings and enough presents to necessitate an intermission about halfway through unwrapping. But as we've grown up and gotten married, things have shifted; last year we did Christmas in the evening, instead of in the morning, and every holiday now has a marked absence of a sibling (or two) celebrating with someone else's family.
But there is one inviolable tradition that still binds our Christmases together, and that is my mother's cinnamon rolls.
How To Make Crunchy Biscotti Cookies
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Once an obscure Italian cookie from Prato, biscotti are now a common addition to many cookie plates. Classically, the cookie is made with pine nuts and almonds, but it's possible to find all sorts of additions these days, from bacon and cornmeal to drizzles of chocolate, both dark and white. Usually, I like to stick to a simple almond biscotti — unless it's the holidays when I show no shame in pulling out the pistachios and cranberries. Really, basic biscotti like our recipe here can be tweaked to suit whatever you fancy!
5 Loaf Cakes & Quick Breads That Make Perfect Gifts
With all the tins of cookies and the pretty packages of homemade caramels and truffles that get passed around this time of year, I would like to put in a good word for the humble loaf cake. Here is a gift that keeps on giving: a slice for breakfast, a slice for afternoon snack, a slice before bedtime! Want a few recommendations for surefire gifting wins? Here are five of my personal favorites.
Holiday Recipe: Cranberry Cake
Recipes from The Kitchn
While I can't claim credit for this recipe (I got it from a friend, who got it from another friend, and so it goes...,), it is known in these parts as "your cranberry cake." As my mother asked last week, "Are you bringing your cranberry cake to Thanksgiving?" And my sister said, "You better save some of your cranberry cake for me."
But it's not proprietary information. My cranberry cake can be your cranberry cake too.
Homemade Gift Recipe: Cherry Pistachio Granola Clusters
Recipes from The Kitchn
This right here is what I like to call my "snacking granola." We're talking about big chunky clusters of lightly-sweet granola studded with pistachios and dried cherries. A handful of this makes all other afternoon snacks look puny by comparison — and a whole bag of it makes the ultimate gift for everyone from the friends in your book group to the babysitter.

I bought this car used with around 17,000 miles on it. It was basically new, it was the worst purchase of my life almost. So many little things go wrong with it. the most recent thing is the cable to pop the hood has broken. AGAIN. this is the second time ive been unable to open the hood. also one of the door ajar sensors is malfunctioning so everytime u hit a bump the interior lights flash on and it dings. gas mileage goes is awful. its' a "compact" SUV. its smaller than a mini van and gets worse gas than my truck. for a vehicle that size with a V6 and such little horsepower it should get way better gas mileage. the tire inflation sensor malfunctions too.

2005 Suzuki XL-7 SUV EX 4WD 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
In 2005 we decided to buy the XL7 used, 6000 miles on it looking new and for a great price, way lower than a new one would've cost. It was a dealer's test drive car. Since we've got it nothing wrong happened. I have done the brakes on it at 30000 and costed $70.00 It gives average 18 to 22 MPG combined HWY and City. Regular gas is just fine. Very resistent, reliable and confortable.4WD is wonderfull when needed. Long trips are nice and smoth. The features from manufacture are great. My wife gets complements from all her friends, her car looks Young...they say. Very good car for the price. Low cost to keep mechanicaly. Looks better and runs better now that is paid for!

Vehicle is comfortable for driving. Need better gas mileage. While driving the vehicle is bit too noisy. Tire sensors malfunction especially on cold days. Passenger door light is not working after several attempts to repair it. Security screen in rear is constantly breaking. Braking system needs much improvement.

I bough my Suzuki XL-7 a year a go. Having purchased many new vehicles in the past I started buying used, but I still had the itch for a new one. I made a U-turn into a Suzuki dealer . My XL-7 is the best vehicle I've owned. I've seen my dealer for oil changes only, it hasn't had any problems or needed any adjustments. This vehicle is the very best buy for your money, period

I own an '05 XL-7. I like everything about the truck except, the gas millage is not good, considering that its a V6 with under 200 HP. It only gets 17 mpg city and 21 hwy. Also, it should come standard with a luggage rack, but does not. Other than that, it's a good truck for the money.

2005 Suzuki XL-7 SUV LX 4WD 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5M)
I love the Suzuki XL-7. It has a great deal of comfort and space. I can drive long distances and remain comfortable. The left side foot rest is great. The on dash controls make everything easy. The third row will definitely help you carry 7 passengers as long as they are not all adults. The style and body shape are eye catching while the interior is equally exciting. So far my XL-7 has been very reliable and dependable. The engine power is adequate for towing. The pearl finish is beautiful, not quite white! The interior has many compartments with easy access, and the rear hidden compartment is ideal with it's tray design. Overall I look forward to buying a Suzuki when and if I am ever ready to depart with the one I have.

2005 Suzuki XL-7 SUV EX Rwd 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
This SUV can be found with lots of factory rebates if you're patient, resulting in a really good deal. It has lots of interior flexibility since the rear seats can move and be folded down for extra cargo space. This is the only small-med size SUV I could find that had enough cargo room behind the second row seat to fit my two large dogs. Only a minivan could do the job better, and I needed 4WD. The only minivan with AWD anymore is the Toyota Sienna, which I plain couldn't afford.

My XL-7 is a great family Vehicle. It's small enough to park anywhere yet roomy enough to fit 7 comfortably with room for storage. I highly recommend this inexpensive SUV for the price conscious consumer.

We originally owned a 1995 Suzuki Wagon 4WD and liked it very much, with the exception of slightly uncomfortable seats. We now have an XL-7 with all the toys including steering wheel radio controls and heated leather seats. We are recieving 20 mpg out of its V6 engine. The '95 Suzuki would give us 23 mpg with a 4-cyl. We find the seats in our new XL-7 comfortable. I think this car will hold up.

Proceed managed $5 million worth of paid search and other marketing spending in 2004.
Proceed Interactive has agreed to merge with CGI Holding Corporation, which owns online marketing firm WebSourced.
Proceed, previously called Meandaur, managed $5 million worth of paid search and other marketing spending in 2004. Projected revenues for 2004 are $3.6 million. The company's 35 employees manage a roster of accounts including General Motors, Omni Hotels and Wells Fargo. Jonathan and Stephen Schepke, Proceed's co-CEOs, will continue to lead the company. Founder Bruce Findley will stay on as a consultant.
"We expect this merger to enhance the quality and variety of services we can offer to our clients, and to provide a breadth of opportunities for our shareholders and employees," said Steve Schepke.
News of the merger follows last week's acquisition of search engine marketing firm iProspect by Aegis Group. Some industry watchers anticipate a trend of SEM agency buy-outs.
The stock deal is worth a total of approximately 1.3 million shares, half of which will be placed into escrow and paid out according to Proceed's performance over the next four years. CGI said the merger would be "immediately accretive" to its earnings.
CGI's WebSourced subsidiary is a purveyor of search marketing services. Clients include RealNetworks, Alaska Airlines and Lowe's.

American and European scientists have found that increasing natural marijuana-like chemicals in the brain can help correct behavioral issues related to fragile X syndrome, the most common known genetic cause of autism.
The work indicates potential treatments for anxiety and cognitive defects in people with this condition. Results appear online in Nature Communications.
Daniele Piomelli of UC Irvine and Olivier Manzoni of INSERM, the French national research agency, led the study, which identified compounds that inhibit enzymes blocking endocannabinoid transmitters called 2-AG in the striatum and cortex regions of the brain.
These transmitters allow for the efficient transport of electrical signals at synapses, structures through which information passes between neurons. In fragile X syndrome, regional synapse communication is severely limited, giving rise to certain cognitive and behavioral problems.
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a mutation of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome. People born with it are mentally disabled; generally experience crawling, walking and language delays; tend to avoid eye contact; may be hyperactive or impulsive; and have such notable physical characteristics as an elongated face, flat feet and large ears.
The researchers stress that their findings, while promising, do not point to a cure for the condition.
"What we hope is to one day increase the ability of people with fragile X syndrome to socialize and engage in normal cognitive functions," said Piomelli, a UCI professor of anatomy & neurobiology and the Louise Turner Arnold Chair in the Neurosciences.
The study involved mice genetically altered with FMR1 mutations that exhibited symptoms of fragile X syndrome. Treated with novel compounds that correct 2-AG protein signaling in brain cells, these mice showed dramatic behavioral improvements in maze tests measuring anxiety and open-space acceptance.
While other work has focused on pharmacological treatments for behavioral issues associated with fragile X syndrome, Piomelli noted that this is the first to identify the role endocannabinoids play in the neurobiology of the condition.

YES, finally its time... i have autistic spectrum and i have incorrect behaviors that cannot be fixed unless you tell yourself 24/7 and behaviors and thought process that is incorrect that you will never even know is incorrect. Ive tried marijuana before and the first time ive tried it ive done some self explaining to myself that was very different and i didnt know why. after marijuana using marijuana several times which i find relaxing if not used too much at once, i started realizing the difference in thought process and realizing the off things that i do and it got to the point where i actually started figuring out my problems with cannabis and i cant believe the correction in thought process when using this significant plant. there was never a cure for autism but this is the CLOSEST to it. i have a lot more things to say about this but it would take too long to write but all i have to say is this is THE best medication for personality disorders and autistic behaviors and correction to the thought process of such.

Theater Review: 'The Great American Trailer Park Musical'
Date: February 13, 2013
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
"Trailer Park," now gracing Venice Theatre's Stage II, is an outrageously raunchy parody of so-called trailer-trash (read lower class) society. Written with some wit — book by Betsy Kelso and music by David Nehls — the show successfully skewers popular predilections of the lightly educated, but throughout the hilarious bombardment of jokes at their expense, it manages to show sympathy for all the ridiculously stereotyped characters. It may be loud and lewd, but it's not lacking in heart, and directed by Kelly Wynn Woodland, it goes by in the blink of an eye, punctuated by frequent chortling.
A parody is only as strong as the truth it seeks to exaggerate, and a musical only as good as its tunes. This production succeeds at both. With help from costume designer Priscilla Boyd and scenic designer John Michael Andzulis, we recognize the knickknacks that "make a house a home," the tights and bosom boosting tops on the women, the men in loud t-shirts, oversized florals, and even some comedy icons like trench coats on FBI, striped PJs and a black fedora on the villain, Groucho Marx glasses with nose and mustache attached, a gold lame onesie and a penchant for Swarovski crystals.
The original music is lively, with catchy, danceable tunes, ranging from good old rock 'n' roll to country to ballad, with punchy, comical lyrics, all under the direction of Peter Madpak. Choreographer Laura Priscilla Hoffman keeps the talented cast on their high heels with lots of entertaining boogaloo and frug type moves as well as a hint of pole dancing.
All the players in the talented cast sing, dance, and spout funny lines. Andrea Keddell-Heintz plays agoraphobic trailer dweller Jeannie Garstecki, and Steven O'Dea plays her tempted-to-stray husband who frequently expounds "Holy Ham Sandwiches." Pippi, beautifully played by Danae DeShazer, is a stripper hiding from her gun-toting boyfriend in the trailer for rent next door. All three sing a lovely medley, "But He's Mine/It's Never Easy." Travis M. Rogers plays Duke, the boyfriend who, in one of the more pointedly satirical scenes pulls out his gun, only to see the entire trailer park pull out their guns. The girls, who are sort of a Greek chorus, as well as characters of their own, and who do the bulk of the singing and dancing are played by Melanie Souza as Betty, Laura Priscilla Hoffman as Lin, and Liz Pascoe as Donna/Tina.

The new Archbishop of Canterbury is not even in the job yet. But the Rt Rev Justin Welby faces his first test tomorrow nonetheless, with the General Synod vote on the controversial issue of women bishops. Although Bishop Welby (who remains, until March, Bishop of Durham) has made a strong case in favour, using his inaugural press conference to call for a Yes vote, the outcome is, thus far, too close to call.
The central issue is, of course, one of equality. As the letter from 1,000-plus clergy and senior laity published in The Independent today makes clear, it is time for the Church to show it "no longer believes women to be inferior to men". But there is also, as Bishop Welby has spotted, a question of church unity here. The Archbishop-elect is to be commended for his alacrity in coming forward on so tricky an issue. But with fights over homosexuality to come, this week's vote is only the beginning.

Hi everyone! Today my mom, grandmother, and I went down to the fairgrounds to decorate our entry Christmas tree. What theme did we choose? Disneyland! We all helped, creating crafts and making ornaments to decorate the tree. We took our past Disneyland tickets, pastpasses, Autopia licenses, etc. and made them into ornaments! Here are some pictures of our "Disneyland-fied" Christmas tree.
I'm sorry that they are a little blurry. They were taken on a camera-phone, but you can still see some of the details, such as: Mickey mouse garland, snowflake Mickeys, snowmen Mickeys..
Anyways, I hope you like it!

Poll Finds Washington Gun Rights Initiative Losing Support
Originally published on Wed July 16, 2014 9:19 am
A new Elway Poll out Tuesday shows support for a gun rights measure on Washington's fall ballot is flagging. Meanwhile, a dueling measure that would expand background checks remains popular.
The poll represents a major shift since April: a nine-point drop in support for Initiative 591, the measure that says Washington can't adopt a stricter gun background check than the feds. At the same time, Initiative 594, measure would expand background checks to include person-to-person gun sales in Washington, continues to enjoy a 70-percent approval rating.
Longtime pollster Stuart Elway thinks the numbers show voters are figuring out what each measure would actually do.
"What it looks to me like is people are now voting more in accordance with their intention which is to implement more extensive background checks," he said.
Elway felt confident saying that because his polling has generally found Washington voters favor more extensive background checks by a margin of 2 to 1. Still, Elway noted the gun control issue still splits sharply along partisan lines.
The Elway poll's margin of error was plus or minus 4.5 percent.

This little scene reminded me of an excersise class, hence the title.... cropped to letterbox shape levels adjusted and sharpened slightly, the Fallow Deer live along side the Red Deer on the Powys estate, but they are so small and so skittish it was a job to get a clear shot of them at all, and I still have aches in my legs from all the up hill walking to find them.... LOL but it was fun.
A very big thank you to Hobbit Dave for the award given to "goodnight Llangorse" which was such a lovely surprise. Also thanks to all who voted and commented on my previous image of the Red Stag, this is new territory for me but I have to get some use out of my Sigma 150-500 ...... and this seems a great place to get some practice.
Have a lovely weekend everyone

Holy hell, how much has this industry been expanded?
Billions upon billions are made in the science industry...how much is made in the insider industry with the fundraisers?
Have you asked yourselves this?
There is a feedback loop where you donate money, that money is given to the fundraisers, that is divided between the industry, admin, and-ding*ding*ding* the fundraisers, and the cycle repeats...
Where is the solution? Hundreds of billions a year and no solutions? What are the pharmaceutical companies' cut? Do they care about solutions, or is it symptom based until the affected die? And hurray for those that survive! Survivors are significant because they are good for marketing.
No, there are ways around this travesty. There are ways of prevention. The cure! The cure! Hurray to finding a cure!
Hmph! the cure is a distraction. We know the prevention at the least. Why is that not displayed on every pink ribbon?
Are we that full of shit that we will spend hundreds of millions towards those that market a cure that we don't even suspect a prevention?
Those pink shoes are pretty nice looking I must say!

At the beheading of an American engineer, the leader of the murderers stated the nature of the world's enemy with unusual clarity. We should never forget these chilling words: 'Themilitant on the video called President Bush "a dog" and addressed him, saying, "Now, you have people who love death just like you love life. Killing for the sake of God is their best wish, getting to your soldiers and allies are their happiest moments, and cutting the heads of the criminal infidels is implementing the orders of our lord."'

Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Real World MPG Numbers
buttster Posts: 3Not sure what year you have or trany, but with an 2002 Silverado 3500 Dually, 8.1, Allison & 4:10 pulling 37ft we get between 8 (bad day) & 10.5 (real good day). Our weight is 23,000#+ and have no air deflector on truck. Only option other than factory is a K&N filter. NOTE: this was not bought for millage but to HAUL. Diesels really don't get much better unless highly "tweeked" and with fuel prices, the origanal outlay has to be considered.
p100 Posts: 1,116I had a 4.3 liter V6 GM block in an 18 ft boat (1989 model). The engine had a 2 barrel carbueretor and ignition points (no electronic ignition), and no emission controls. The calculated milage at 40 MPH crusing speed was about 5 MPG (8 gallons/hour).
Note: 5 MPG in a boat is considered good fuel economy. -
jerrymcshane1 Posts: 195
silver4803 Posts: 7I have about 70,000 miles on my 03. I have averaged 19.5mpg at 65mph. First as a warning to air filters. I tried the K&N filter. No mpg increase, however after about 30,000 miles on it I remove the air inlet tube to the throttle butterfly and there was a large ammount of red fuzz from the filter accumulated there. I checked the MAF and it was dirty. Prior to the K&N it was clean. The dirtyness reminded me of when you see an intake that someone removed the filter. K&N would not answer me about this. I had seen a website about a racer that was killing their engine after one race due to dirt getting past the filter. They returned to a normal paper filter and they were running 10 races and still better than one on a K&N. Check your throttle. Back to gas mileage. I purchased a Diable Predator and it improves performance but not mpg. I now have a TunerCat with MXScan and with just TunerCat I have improved mpg to 22mpg but city performance suffers. I have backed off to 21pmg. This is mostly by advancing spark and increasing AFR by 0.5. I ahve improved city mpg more by reducing idle rpm. One mile to work results in 14.5mpg. I cut 2 inches off the fan shroud and highway mpg went up by 0.5mpg (if I remove shroud another 0.5mpg increase). I will be putting an electric fan and removing the mechanical fan. I still have to figure out how to use MXScan to trim out tune. I always buy 87 (non-alcohol). Quality of fuel is a problem. I have a Scan Gauge to read mpg. Caseys and Kwikway here in Cedar Rapids I have found have been consistent. I usually only get 8 gallons at a time to blend incase of bad fuel. Long Term and Short Term Fuel Trims don't like big changes in fuel quality. Bed cover did not change mpg but keeps bed cleaner and items out of rain.
silver4803 Posts: 7When you buy alcohol mix there is no guarantee you are getting the advertised 10%. They may also have a lot of water attached to the alcohol. If you want to check it get a container that can be marked with eleven even volume marks. Put water to the first mark. Add to the eleventh mark with alcohol fuel. Shake and let stand. The water will attach to the alcohol and fall out of suspension. If the water/alcohol falls to 1.7 marks then you have 10% alcohol. If it falls to 2.5 marks then you have 20% alcohol. If your vehicle cannot adjust to this then your mpg will suffer a lot. Contact your state department that certifies the pumps if you want about the poor fuel.
coontie57 Posts: 128I only have 3K miles on my Duramax 4 x 4 but I got nearly 19 mpg driving in the mtns here in wnc and va.. and that was with nothing being pulled at the speed limit with 500 miles on it.. A recent trip pulling 11K lbs I got 11mpg.. again in the mtns of wnc, tn, va and wva... Can't wait to see what it does in the flat land.
mathias Posts: 1I don't drive much... so my 2-and-a-half-month old '07 Silverado Classic with the V6 and auto did about 19 mpg empty on the freeway going 70 mph steady with the cruise.
I took the tonneau cover off for the trip; from the #s my scangauge was giving me, I'd say I could have gotten maybe 21 mpg with the cover on the truck... but that's really just a guess.

brix92 Posts: 8I have a 2007 1500HD crew cab and drive about 80 miles RT to/from work. I just put on a tonneau cover last month and the gas mileage is the same. I am getting 14.8 gallons according to the computer. It was around 13 when I tow my horse trailer.
How are people getting 18-20mpg in their Silverado?
Am I getting that mileage because it is a 6.0? Actually, I had a 2004 F150 5.4 V8 and it got around 13-14.5mpg, so for a little bigger engine, it's pretty much the same thing. -
eaubes Posts: 2I just purchased a 2007 2500 HD Classic, 6.0,4:10 rear.I just turned 1000 miles on the Odometer. I am only getting 10 MPG. I Traded in an 01 2500, and I was getting 13-14 with that tuck. My freind told me that installing a Tornado raised MPG by 2 Gal. Has any one had experiance with this, or a programmer.
xbbuster Posts: 145I have an '07 Classic Ext Cab W/T with the V-6 and the 3.23 rear end. It has only 800 miles on it but checking the mileage I am only getting 12 mpg city and 16 on the highway using cruise going 65 with the AC off. I had a '95 W/T V-6 that got nearly 18 MPG on the road, it had 100,000 miles. Will this get anywhere near what Chevrolet claims....16 and 21 MPG?
motohead77 Posts: 1I check my mileage every tank and I calculate actual mileage with gallons used at the same pump. I consistently get 12.5 around town no highway and the best I have gotten on the freeway is 17.4mpg from Anaheim ca to San Diego freeway driving on flat highway cruising at 75. Also on the way out to glamis I reg get, with a dirt bike and associated gear average 16-17 but there are only a couple of grades and its mainly flat. I am waiting untill chevy offers their new 6.2 liter 400+hp cadillac engine in the new vortec max with 6speed trans in their h.o trucks within the next 2 years. My add ons are a flowmaster cat back (actually made for 8.1 liter) and Air aid intake and full castrol synthetic with Lucas synthetic additive. 0 mileage difference with all of my add ons but the truck is quicker =) I am not nice to my truck and I consistently stomp on the gas around town because getting to work is much more fun that way. I am going to try a tune that is supposed to get my truck 30 more horse and 2-4 mpg better from, Wait for me performance they reburn or send you a new pcm. I will repost when I get it installed and see if it actually helps. I think those tornados are junk, for the millions of dollars manufacturers spend to get 1 mpg better in their vehicle's, if the tornadoes actually worked every manufacturer would have them on all their vehicle's from the factory just my opinion.

1offroader Posts: 208I bought a 2007 Chevy 4x4 Crew Cab w/6.0L Vortec Max engine & 3.73 gears a couple months ago. A couple weeks ago I drove from Modesto, CA to Los Angeles, 335 miles, via Hwy. 99 and I-5. If you are familar with the route, it is mostly flat along the Hwy. 99 part, then once it merges with I-5 it's some steep climbing over the Grapevine and the local mountains. 70 mph, cruise control mostly on, a/c on the entire way.
Got 18.2 mpg overall. Extremely pleased and surprised with the mileage. That is excellent mileage for a full size pickup with gobs of power. The "old" EPA rating of 19 mpg highway looks very achievable (or even exceedable) based on my experience, once the vehicle is broken in, and if speeds are reduced to 65 mph.
Active Fuel Management really works. You can see it toggling back and forth from V-8 to V-4 mode. BUT, you cannot feel it unless your foot is on the accelerator when it happens. And then, just barely. It's a great invention if it stays reliable.
Not the forum for discussing Toyota, but I don't hear of anyone bragging about that kind of mpg in the 5.7L Tundra.
And yeah, I'm bragging.

coontie57 Posts: 128I now have 10,000 miles and just got back from Florida and I was pulling my 12000 lb camper... When I was in FL and driving 55mph I got 11 mpg... then on the interstate at 65-70mph it dropped to 10.4ish..
I must have had it FULL because it was slower coming up Saluda Mtn... just 56 mph today... and screaming..
Diesel in FL was $2.69+..... in Spartanburg $2.53 and in Fairview, NC $2.80... PHOOOEY I saw it on I 95 at $2.51 in SC.. -
farmertim Posts: 2Bought my truck on friday, dealer filled it up, and i filled for the first time today. I logged 378 miles, put in 22.5 gallons for 16.8 mpg. This isnt too bad, but it was about 90% highway miles at 60-65 on flat iowa roads with little wind and no load in the box and nothing being towed. Hope this goes up when the engine gets broke in as my 2001 Dodge Cummins would regularly get 20-21 on tankfulls like that.
rman6 Posts: 11I am looking at new 4x4 3/4 ton pickups. I've always been a ford man, but the features and price on the new silverados are more appealing than the new fords. My big question is what kind of mileage to expect with the 6.0 in a 3/4 ton 4x4. I don't need a diesel (don't tow much, just need extra payload). Everyone I know have fords, so I need some input.
geo9 Posts: 739R.........You can expect poor mileage.
I am currently on the hunt for a 07 GMT-900 2500 x-cab
to replace my 04 6.0 2500 x-cab, auto 4:10s.
I can get 12-14 city......17 highway.............
I note the new body style 2500s offer 3:73 rear gears so
possibly can expect 1 or 2 mpgs more.
Nice trucks but thirsty !!!! Since I need a 2500 for
snowplowing and heavy towing I have no other choice.
IMO a diesel for $7000 MORE and the possible few more
mpgs is not worth it............ -
coontie57 Posts: 128I had a 99 Ford diesel and my buddy had a 02 Chevy with the 6L engine. We pulled identical campers from GA/NC to Homer Alaska and home. I drove 14,400 miles and he a bit less. Going through the Yukon where the gas stations are limited we had to fill up at the same one --side beside. It was quite impressive how many more liters of gas he burned on the identical miles driven. Gas station to gas station etc. Incidentally GAS was more expensive in Canada than diesel.
I understand that the 6L has gotten better.. hope so for your sake.
On my Durmax diesel and Ford 7.3 diesel I get/got about 20 mpg with no load. -
coontie57 Posts: 128The diesel engine will go a long way before overhaul. If you plan on keeping one forever like me its worth thinking about. And you also have to think if you are actually pulling something or just driving and commuting. After the tornadoes in Central Florida this Feb a group from Hearts with Hands cane down delivering supplies and they drove 3 Ford 250's. All three were donated and had between 310 and 333 K on them... each.. nothing ever done to the engines.. Stick Shifts..
I am not sure a 6L gas engine would go that far without engine work.. The diesels will probably go another 100K or better..
The diesel is messy to fillup ,, it smells if you get it on your hands etc.
Its just a personal decision.. the power and fuel efficiency is impressive with my new Chebby (as a friend calls it). -
geo9 Posts: 739Perhaps you should take a trip over to the truck
forums here. Diesels have many expensive issues.
Many owners call the Ford diesels "powerjokes" and
post on and on about injector issues among other things.
Not to mention the major expense of maintaining them.
Also note the new Ford 6.0 diesel and torqueshift trans.
issues posted around the net. Or the recent articles
of Ford withholding millions from their diesel supplier
over warranty issues...............
Yea I suppose you could get 300k miles from one. But at
what cost? Employ a inhouse mechanic by chance?
Heck the toyoyo owners brag that they get 300k (sic)
miles. Without ANY repairs of course ! LOL!!!!!!!!!
For the average buyer a diesel is a poor choice........
Now I could start on GMs diesels past and present.
But why bother..You get my point................. -
