Here's a couple pics of my car, nothing too special as I have the stock rims, so it looks like most of the XFires out there, other than window tint, revised emblems and the SS Magnaflow muffler (which I don't have a pic of, yet).

It seems that I can't copy and paste my pics into the "manage attachments" for some reason. I tried to copy and paste each pic into each of the 10 spots and it didn't work. Hopefully this works. On a side note, check this out. I gassed up my car right before I headed out on the trip. I then drove a little over 200 miles before I topped off the tank and figured out my mileage. To my surprise the car got 35 mpg, no way is that possible, well, according to the window sticker anyways. So I drive further and do the mileage again and this time I get 23.5 mpg. On the second fill up I drove the car a bit more aggressively, but not how I usually do though, so I don't get it. FWD to Saturday morning when I'm leaving and again I gas up and drive about 230 miles and figure out the mileage...39 mpg! I don't believe this and on my last fill up, once I got home, I figured out the mileage and got 25 mpg, exactly what the window sticker says. One thing I noticed on the second to last fill up was this, I filled the car up and the gauge didn't go all the way to full, but the pump stopped itself and I went to the nearest dollar level, so I don't know what to make of all this, any ideas guys?

 

I think you thought the tank was full because it shut off! Probably had room for 3 or so gallons. Maybe your gas tank has that collapsing problem that was discussed on a thread a while ago. Either way Crossfire might get 29 mpg but not 35.

 

i've noticed on several occasions the gas pump shuts off prematurely. it occurs more frequently on the crossfire than on our other vehicles.

 

What color is that? I never knew they were available in that bolder shade of blue.

 

Like his signature says, it is Aero Blue. I believe it began production in '05 only available on the Limited and SRT models. It was not a color for the '04 model year.

While we are on the subject of gas mileage. My '04 6-speed's window sticker says 17 and 25. I was at the dealer last week and noticed the '05s had higher numbers, even the automatics. Does anybody know what I am talking about or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

 

I have the 04 automatic and the window sticker said EPA rated 18 City and 28 Highway.
My "real world" ratings have been a low of 16 and almost 35, 34.8 with cruise control fixed at 72 mph. Most of the way on a trip back from Maine to Mass. I usually average 26-29 on the highway. Around the city 16-22.

 

So 35 mpg is possible, hmm, I guess I'll find out when I go to Chicago next month with my wife. This next trip should tell me either way, but is this gas tank problem something I should worry about? As far as the color goes, it is infact only available this year on the SRT-6 and Limited models and I have to say this, I get the most compliments on the color, everyone loves it!
