Default New STR Owner

Just taken ownership of a 2005 Ultraviolet Blue STR with 83k.

Everything is good so far, bar a minor bit of whistling when going at 'heavy cruise' speeds. Not 100% sure where its coming from, but my no 1 suspicion is the window seal. Oh and only getting 24mpg (uk mpg) out of my daily 56 mils commute - was hoping for 26-28ish but nevermind, its still worth it.

Welcome amoeba,

Congratulations on your STR. Pleased to read you aren't too worried by the slightly lower than expected mpg. It's worth it for the style!

R = deduct at least 10% of the EPA documented rating you may get some of that back with some fuel system cleaning product, minimizing vaccuum/air leaks, keeping your mass air flow sensor clean, and gently moving into those intersections.

Welcome single-cell organisms of all types!
