I shift based on sound and feel, not the position of the needle. When it sounds like it's complaining, I shift. When the power and torque drop off, I shift.

It's not hybrid. I just drive gently on rural and interstate highways. Very little stop and go.

I'd rather not. This was a full throttle run, so eco mode doesn't matter.

@ I have a 2.0 manual as well the eco mode decreases throttle response by A LOT its very noticeable even having the ac on in these cars you can feel the sluggishness

@ I just posted a short on my channel but that was me hitting 60 as im entering 3rd short shifting

@@Ryanlbs Well yes, eco mode does dramatically numb the throttle response on the lower half of the pedal travel, but it also ramps up at the end of the travel to make up for it. Eco mode also causes the AC compressor to stay off longer between cycles, which does cause cabin temperatures to fluctuate more, and it shouldn't be controversial that the AC compressor robs horsepower when it's on. At wide open throttle, the AC compressor is switched off anyway, so again, you only notice the difference at part throttle.

Mostly luck. Hot weather combined with long trips at the speed limit and few interruptions.

@Grafyte is that the hybrid version or 2024 regular sport.

@@pero456peromahy It's not a hybrid.

@@Grafyte that's amazing. I only get around 33 mpg avg. In cali and the speed limit

Econ dulls throttle response and increases the AC compressor cycle length. At full throttle (which this video was done with) the throttle valve is opened all the way and the AC compressor is switched off anyway. Eco mode makes no difference on this car.

100% stock although the cluster is swapped in from an LX

High elevation, slightly uphill, wrong fuel, short shifting, soft launch/shifting ... could definitely shave 1.5-2 seconds under better conditions.

The VX is the fuel economy oriented model, however, the CX and VX share the same transaxle. Since the CX has the 8 valve engine, it is tuned to have prodigious torque under 3000 rpm, however that comes at great expense of power beyond 3000. This car drives just like a diesel, but quieter, lighter, and obviously cleaner.

eh, sure, yes

@@Grafyte thank you so much!

Not camping. Going speed of traffic with 3-4 seconds distance.

I already did. It's driving around in Wyoming right now.

@@Grafytewhat did you let her go for? That was some low miles

@@MPowerSubie12 Paid 7500 sold it for 7500

No

Did I not stop directly behind the same traffic I was supposed to be keeping up with?

@@Grafyte I don't personally care, but technically you was impeding traffic. I don't cram my vehicle up the rear of other vehicles in front of me, but I do manage to keep up with traffic.

Hogging road? Where are cars going to go? Clips 1 and 4 involve traffic dense enough to pull the average speed of travel down to a near crawl. What difference does it make if you go 50 mph for 10 seconds and stop and wait for 45 seconds or go 10 mph for 50 seconds and stop and wait for for 5 seconds? Your average speed is the same regardless. Just because you can use more fuel and wear your brakes more doesn't mean you should. I'm not a braindead driver just paying to attention to the car directly in front me.

@@Grafyte The very nature of both photography and videography is selectivity, whether you say you are editing or not. So no one knows what was going on except you and the other drivers. That said, my response is this: if at any point you are intentionally slowing down--whether continually or temporally/sporadically--to create extra space between you and the car in front of you while others are behind you, that's rude and hogging more space than you should be using. This is most definitely NOT about "average speed." I repeat: they don't know you or why you are driving that way anymore than you know why they want to get around you--I suspect they are on the road because they want to get somewhere and not because they want to make videos for UA-cam. I've been caught behind your kind before, and just getting around you is a relief, and if it doesn't make a difference at this light, it usually will by the next.

I'm an attentive driver and I don't accelerate into something I can't pass.

I agree, and driving faster doesn't get you to your destination sooner. It's called looking ahead and not accelerating into what you cannot pass.

I didn't say a word or do anything. You're hearing all original audio and the only edits to the video are the text and speed up. I pressed the save video button because I was pretty sure I was going to stop at the same light as them. And for the second one, well, that was my bad, but if an accident had occurred, it would have been Caravan's fault.

Not a single person missed the light because of me there and if even if more people made the light behind me making traffic better behind, they'd be stopping behind at this light making traffic here worse.

How so?

​@@Grafyte you leave far too much space, accelerate slower than necessary, and you seem to go out of your way to goad people behind you to get frustrated and pass. I drive rather slow and safe compared to most people with my son in the back, but driving the way you do especially in the first clips, you're causing a dangerous situation by being excessively "safe" and slow and causing people to get frustrated. I'm not defending their bad decision to pass, but I am criticizing your bad decision to drive the way you do.

@@jango268 I don't see how tailgating or accelerating faster would make me any more selfless. Freedom for the car behind me use more gas and wear their brakes a little more? The 2nd clip was 100% my bad. I should _not_ have been driving that slow.

@@Grafyte tailgating? My lord, you must be a person that thinks my government set radar controlled cruise control follows too close. The amount of brakes and gas you save by being the selfish dick in these is negligible to the headache you'll deal with when you cause an accident. You need to follow the flow of traffic, period. If you don't, you are the problem period. I bet you believe the speed limit in the context of traffic law means you can drive whatever you want under it right? Please stop driving and take public transit. And the fact that you're driving like this to save gas and brakes shows how selfish you are, you're not the only person on the road. Seriously. Follow traffic or take public transit.

I don't doubt it. This car is abnormally slow for a B5244S

This car gets 34-36 mpg in the summer and 29-31 in the winter but I do all highway miles. This thing is a PIG in town.

It's the 20 valve but either the catalytic converter is clogged or the MAF sensor is faulty.

Steady arrow means "winter mode active" (which shouldn't be used during normal driving, but very useful to get going on ice etc) Flashing arrow means something is wrong with the transmission

I just checked and it seems your engine comes with 140hp stock. A simple chiptune unlocks additional 30hp. Damn Volvo was conservative with pushing the engine. Audis with the 2.4 (although v6) from 2008 or earlier are 170-177hp which I expected from the Volvo as well. Even the Toyota 2.4 comes with around 150hp stock.

Nope. Not towing. Doesn't need any maintenance. I've taken to 3 different shops and they all say it runs perfect, and it kinda does. Smooth as silk from idle to redline. Has all new plugs, coils, air filter, oil, filters, all that stuff. It's the 168 hp version too, 20v. At worst it has a clogged catalytic converter that chokes the engine at high rpm, or it has a faulty MAF sensor that doesn't allow enough fuel to get into the engine at high rpm. Below 3000 rpm it's perfect. Gets good mpg too, 34-36 mpg US in summer and 29-31 in winter. After 5000 rpm the fuel flow actually drops which is how I deduced the aforementioned issues.

@@Grafyte I don't know man. It kinda felt slow. If you think the MAF sensor or anything in the emissions system is to blame (except physical clogs), you could just disconnect the MAF sensor temporarily. Engine light will turn on and the car will essentially drive in constant open loop but you can test that way for free and cross that off your list if that isn't the culprit.

It's always the guys with no cars who talk the most.

guys that say "300hp is slow" etc etc have never experienced anything, after that they get a car that does 0-60 in like 7 seconds which is decent and think they're faster than everyone. People that actually have fast cars don't even bother hating on other cars

Yeah i see people online calling cars with 5-6 second 0-60 times slow, which is insane. I would call my 2010 Golf pretty quick actually, and it has an 8 or 9 second 0-60 and 170hp. Drive a 2004 CR-V with a 14 second 0-60 time and that will change your mind of what slow really means.
