The fuel here in Florida costs 4.59 per gallon and gave me no increase in power (which was expected) but also no gain in gas milage. So it has no advantage over the 10% ethanol gas. ]]> Fiat 500 Engine and Technical Discussion daleksic http://www.fiat500owners.com/forum/9-fiat-500-engine-technical-discussion/3902-93-octane-ethanol-free.html http://www.fiat500owners.com/forum/5-fiat-500-new-member-introductions/3901-brazilian-prima-edizione.html Thu, 17 May 2012 01:42:36 GMT Hii everybody, firstly I'm apologising about my English = /

I am enjoying my Fiat very much.
Second, I'm not concerned about the discrepency between 18.8 and 19.6. I am actually pretty impressed that the numbers are close.
Well, I have 128 miles on the car now. I filled it up with gas - about 4 1/2 gallons. I like to keep my tank about half full always. Anyway, the dealer filled it up when I left last Wednesday. I have the pop with an automatic. I don't drive with a heavy foot- probably not even a moderate foot. Probably somewhere between light and moderate. From what I have read, the mileage will increase as the engine breaks in.
I drive in Los Angeles county and traffic is a regular part of life. I was doing some reading on the internet about mileage and stop and go driving and it seems to really dog the numbers. I also have the air conditoner on most of the time. I don't know how much that affects things.

I am looking forward to learning all of the things that I can reasonably do to increase the mileage.

I appreciate being part of this forum. ]]> Fiat 500 General Discussion Forum Cardriver http://www.fiat500owners.com/forum/8-fiat-500-general-discussion-forum/3899-car-reads-18-8-average-mpg-my-calculation-19-6-mpg-open-all-ideas.html http://www.fiat500owners.com/forum/16-off-topic-discussion/3898-since-no-one-asked-what-i-do-work-too.html Thu, 17 May 2012 00:24:56 GMT Here are just a few pics of the cars we have built over the last 6 months or so: This is a 2008 Charger RT... started life as a base HEMI car......

The last pic is of the rear emblem where it is peeling. The car went straight to the detail shop from the dealer where we noticed this. I called the dealer right away and they said they would order a new one. I am reasonably sure it is from the dealer prep but can't be 100% sure. If you are picking up an Abarth soon, this is another point to check before driving off (on top of the other hose clamp issues, etc. that have been reported).

Dyno Results

Hey all

finally had the dyno done at 10am this morning. well the results sort of surprised me ALOT lol. I figured the rated 101hp at the crank with %15 standard loss it would be roughly 86hp at the wheels. well i will have to scan the dyno sheets. but here is what the results are.

100% stock run in 3rd gear. the numbers have been corrected for elevation and temp.
Hp:98
Tq:99

the numbers were identical between non sport mode and in sport mode. so that little button doesnt do anything for power.

now for the other good news. The competizon panel filter was added in and let cool for the 5 mins it took me to put in. and the results are.
Hp:100
Tq:101

so for a $60 panel filter to gain 2hp 2tq max power im very impressed.

I heard back from my associates at Fiat and they provided an answer to the mysteriously missing hole for the sun roof hex wrench. Many of you received a hex wrench in the glove box or by mail to manually adjust the sunroof in the event all electrical power is lost. For those that received it by mail, it appears the same amount of people are concerned that the opening for the hex wrench located at the rear of the sunroof (on the headliner) cannot be located. The answer is, simply its not there. At the time your vehicles were built, the hex wrench was not yet available; so, for many months, the vehicles were built without the hex wrench adjustment (hole). I have not yet been advised as to what is going to be put in place for those that this affects. Hold on to the hex wrench, and Im sure another customer satisfaction notice will come out in the near future for those vehicles in which the hex wrench opening needs created. ]]> Fiat 500 New Member Introductions FiatCares http://www.fiat500owners.com/forum/5-fiat-500-new-member-introductions/3892-sunroof-hex-wrench-customer-satisfaction-notice-update.html http://www.fiat500owners.com/forum/25-fiat-500-abarth/3890-my-little-meatball-came-home-last-night.html Wed, 16 May 2012 13:45:40 GMT I picked up my Grigio Abarth last night! I got the black cap and stripes every option with the exception of the sunroof, engine heater, and smoker's group.

There were two scratches on it. One on the top of the spoiler and a real nasty one near one of the headlights. Also, the back Abarth logo looked grummy, and they couldn't get it to look right. So, they're ordering me a new one. I also had their tint guy come in and take care of my tint before I took delivery. I got 30% front and 20% the rest of the car. This guy looks like he did a great job.

I'm waiting to get the invisibra on, but I may not be able to get in until mid-June. There's no way I can avoid highways for a month when that's all I take to work. So, now I'm rethinking getting it at all.
