This is what I got with my original engine
i had the car for three to four month know and for the first time I but one quart of oil on the engine, and its my daily driver. I drive one way to work about 13 miles six days a week. that about 900 to 1100 miles for one quart of oil and yes i do get 19 to 21 mpg. I normally get about 290 miles on a gas tank my best was 320 and my worst was 264.)
But with my second engine, I don't think am getting close to this number any more!!!
I will check on my next couple of Tanks!!!!

So my car had a pretty rough hot start yesterday, has me feeling a bit paranoid.
Also, did you know our cars are kinda slow when you have 4 people + a full trunk of luggage in it, are running the AC and are climbing Steven's Pass? There were a couple times the friend I was letting drive felt the need to drop it into 5th.

Dude that sucks! It looks like someone took 60 grit sandpaper to it and gave it a Tom Selleck mustache. How does that even happen? d-bags.
Looks like it's time to call Tripp, that looks pretty bad. Sorry man.

it was like a tire rubbing against it.. like they drove right against my car somehow.. both the top and bottom bits of the bumper were hit and the clear bra is all rough now. i'm trying to look up the part number for the mazdaspeed tow hook relocation bracket and the tow hook itself so i can add them when i get it fixed.
