fuel economy and capacity

I have a 2006 Solara SE coupe and have read in the manual that the fuel tank capacity is 18.5 gallons. However anytime I fill up it’s usually around 13-14 gallons, and that’s when I drive it past a quarter tank left (or sometimes even till the fuel light comes on). So I just don’t see how it’s possible it could be 18.5 gallons if I’ve never gotten more than 15 out of it.

On a side note, I’m curious what you guys with similar year and trim models get MPG wise. Mine fluctuates anywhere from 17-23 from winter to summer (almost all city driving). It’s my 2nd year with the car and I was pretty surprised with how bad the MPG got in the winter months.

How heavy is the religious aspect of attending Xavier?

I am a rising senior who is considering Xavier because of the location and size, but I am not at all religious so I am a bit weary of its catholic affiliation. I know pretty much every private uni is going to be religious, but the weight of that affiliation can vary in and throughout campus life. So I'm wondering how big of a role does it play at Xavier? Any comments on the religious aspect would be appreciated greatly!

Super cool Naperville Food website!

I’m currently putting together a list of all the local food spots in Naperville and I came across this super cool website that has a lot of places. It’s definitely not a definitive guide, but they have 188 different places listed with editors reviews and a lot of other useful information. I have no idea who made this, but thought y’all would find it interesting!

Best songs to play in acoustic standard tuning?

Just looking for some nice songs in standard that sound good on acoustic. I know a lot of mobo songs are in it or half step down (if that’s even counted as Midwest emo, not sure) but is there anything else?

Any recommended GOOD QUALITY sites to find lower popularity/niche jerseys

So far every site I have looked at only has the most popular leagues and teams. I have used jersey loco in the past to get a Chicago Fire jersey but they have since removed that team from the site. If anybody can help me, I am looking for 25/26 Chicago Fire jersey, as well as 25/26 Orense SC (Ecuador). I really want good quality jerseys too not super cheap that are obvious fakes.

Horrible Idea to Buy?

As you can see the description is very tempting and I feel like it’s a fair price *given* that the description is true: one owner, “20k in work with receipts”, engine replaced. It’s the first Saab I’ve found for sale that doesn’t seem like a POS. But I have general doubts about owning a Saab this age like if the turbo and transmission and electrical stuff are super worn out at this point. I’m not a mechanic by any means (can do an oil change that’s about it) and I’ve heard that most mechanics won’t touch Saabs, is that true?? Looking for opinions on this purchase as well as general Saab ownership tips. How do my fellow midwesterners here go about finding parts and labor? Reason for buying is that I’ve owned an old base Camry for 2 years now and while I love that it’s bulletproof it’s actually the most boring thing ever to own/drive especially as a teeming Saab enthusiast 😅

Is this 2004 Ukraine shirt legit or fake?

I have no idea what to look for with a jersey of this age, but I found the last picture online as a comparison. Any second opinions?

What do yall think of Persian?

I had a lot of fun using payday and later in the game, screech + slash was an unstoppable combo. I didn’t use him much for the elite 4 though. What do yall think of my team?

This just made me miss my old laser red 9-3 so so badly

It’s not everyday around where I live that you see a Saab. But a mint Laser Red, manual transmission, aero??! I don’t think I’ll see something as beautiful for the rest of my life I just had to share with yall. My only dream in life is to someday own a Saab again :l

I’m just recently learning that the Chicago Fire brought over 330k spectators to Naperville when they used Benedetti-Werhli Stadium for their temporary grounds in 2002/3. We are a city of 155k people that has a 5500 capacity stadium, and I feel like there is a nice soccer culture here especially youth soccer being a very popular and competitive activity here. I’m obviously not talking about major league, but if you look at 3rd tier USL1, you have cities such as Fort Wayne, Boise, Greenville SC, etc with stadiums of similar calibers that have teams. A USL1 or even semi-pro USL2 team could serve as a great community activity as well as youth talent development. What do you guys think of a hypothetical soccer team in Naperville?
