Gas Mileage

Would it be possible for a member with a 173T to post a picture of the "spoiler"?  I have a 172T and it also has a protrusion right above the rear hatch.  I am pretty sure all of the "T" series Pod's have this but wanted to make sure!  Thanks!

Thanks!  Yeah, that looks exactly like the one on my 172T.  I assumed it was a water diversion devise to keep as much water away from the rear hatch seals as possible.  It may have a spoiler affect though, as I can usually get about 13-15mpg out of our 2004 Acura MDX...  Thanks!

The MDX has a 3.5L V6, 265hp, 253 lb ft.  I use cruise control and let it decide which gear to use (Honda transmissions are the best!)  Avg towing in Arizona, up to the mountains and back, so there are some hills included.  The MDX has a trip computer, and I found it to be pretty accurate when comparing it to my gallons pumped/miles driven calculations.

I have a 2001 MDX (the first year) with the factory tow package.  We are planning on getting 175 but not until spring.  I am learning here before and am wondering, you said you use the cruise control to decide gears.  Are you in D5 or D4 when you do this?  Lots of people here talk about not letting it be in overdrive because it searches to much.  We love, love our MDX.  It has over 135K on it and is just getting broken in.  You should have seen the looks we got this last summer in Colorado.  We were tooling up to Yankee Boy Basin as all the "true Jeep" owners were coming down.  They couldn't believe we were up there.  It drives like an SUV but rides like a car.  Didn't quite make it all the way up but sure did have fun watching them stare at us.

Ok over last weekend we did some testing with the Trailblazers and the kayaks.  We ran just shy of 50 miles round trip mostly highway with a full tank of fresh water and empty black and gray tanks. Trailblazer is using just a straight 2 1/2 Dropped Receiver with no sway or weight distrubtion on it.  6Cyl, 4.2 Liter Engine, 4X4 LTX Version.
