Mileage??

Check to see if the Premium you used had Ethanol or Methanol in it to bring the octane up. The energy value of these is less than gasoline and WILL reduce gas mileage. I am not sure with the new...

Interesting

Threads such as this are interesting. I am not trying to disagree with any previous post but how can pinging be related to bad coils? When the coils go bad, do they begin firing at undesired times?...

The 02 GLE models have MUCH better looking wheels than the 00 and 01 GLEs while also upping to 17" as opposed to 16" on the earlier.
