This is what c320wz sounds like with the windows up. 1st, 2nd, 3rd are kind of noisy for a V6. Fourth, fifth, and sixth are fine. I shifted gears at 2,500 - 2,800 RPM in this audio clip.

i posted this in the 35mpg thread but realize it's more relevant here:
drove from boston to nyc last night, 200 miles. MPG peeked at 27.3 (with cruise control). in the end 26.8 miles per gallon (cruise control on for about 25% of the way)... ESP off the whole ride.
drove back from nyc to boston, 100 miles with ESP off, 100 miles with ESP on. MPG about the same. I thought they would be different. With ESP, MPG peaked at 27.7.

3.2L V6... Almost invariable 340-350 miles. Average speed 30 mph, on about 11:45-12:20 hours of operation.
With a completely full tank, the miles to empty indicator starts at 400-405 miles for the 3.2L V6.

. But now I get about 350-400 driving on the freeways. I also push the car pretty hard sometimes :v

I always fill up early in the moring and I do not think that they heat the gas up( its not black oil and not refined cooking oil), you might be hearing the air moving around (bubbles). Buttt the gas tanks are underground and much cooler than outside temp.It might be the way you drive it all depends on the person and where they drive(traffic/freeway) and type of gas you fill up with Go Gas or shell as examples ( makes a diffrence).I might be wrong and I could be corrected on the heating of gas but I never heard of it and looked it up online and nothin.

Between 310 - 330 depending on how much long distance driving I do. But in Hawaii, there's not a lot of long open road before you hit traffic.

My car get around 280-290 each tank, and i have a coupe too. I drive mainly local street, so i believe that's why it got so little mpg. I can reach about 320miles each tank with constant freeways driving.
