I had my DEF tank heater replaced under some special warranty at 44,500 miles maybe around Oct 2017, dealer topped off DEF when they performed replacement. Now I am at 58,500 and have driven 14,000 miles, my DEF % just hit 35% left, if I do a little math and ran to empty it would be 21,500 miles...

Some dealers, including MINE, do NOT use the TPMS Re-Learn Tool to tell the DIC the location of the tires after tire rotation. Note your air pressure PRIOR to rotation, better yet, ask them if they use the Re-Learn Tool to reset the TPMS tire locations. I checked the price of this tool...

I did a little post-analysis of the Volt data from Volt stats! last night. Here is what I saw based on gas usage. It shows what percent of real-world drivers are able to achieve certain levels of gas usage, and it's pretty significant. GM could easily cut the range of a plug-in Cruze in half...

All my vehicles drop mpg in the winter, Smokey Yunick was a big fan of using exhaust heat back into the engine. Also, almost all cars, including the 88 up TBI GM V-8 Engines used a thermostatically controlled Hot Air duct from the exhaust manifold. I'm gonna try to duct some hot air into my...
