The 19-year-old rookie who was the 7th overall pick in the 2021 draft started off the season for the Warriors with a very small role, playing just only about 10 minutes a game. With the recent injury of Draymond Green, Kuminga has been given a much more significant role as a starter.
Kuminga has shown great ability to play defense at a high level, often matched up against some of the opposing team’s best players. With his recent performances, he may soon carve himself into the Warriors playoff rotation.

I get it, the hybrid is fuel efficient. But seeing posts that show 50+MPG over a 10 mile trip is probably not an easily achievable benchmark over the entirety of a tank of gas. I can get 99MPG displayed on the dash of my Fusion (non-hybrid) if I reset the trip while coasting downhill. I think this is creating a false expectation for those considering buying a hybrid Maverick.
I expect to get down voted and crucified - so be it.
Disclosure - I ordered a Hybrid Maverick middle of June. I expect to get about 37MPG based on my commute of 95% highway.
It's for a job where I'll be driving 2,000-3,000 miles per month, sometimes in snowy conditions. I'd greatly appreciate your input. Happy holidays!
Prius people need to know that a couple bucks worth of foam pipe insulation all up in your grill will net you 5 or even 10 percent better gas mileage in the winter.
(Excuse the mud. Driving in winter is a dirty habit.)
The gas engine is the only source of heat on your Prius, so it needs to burn gas to meet the demands of the climate control system, as well as maintain it's own operating temperature.
If you block your grill, instead of forcing the gas engine to burn more gas to maintain temps in the cold ass wind, you're blocking that wind and helping the engine stay warmer. You will absolutely feel the difference in the responsiveness of your car and in the climate control. It is much, much warmer. Don't worry, more than enough cold air is bouncing off the ground and up around the radiator and engine to keep you from overheating.
1/2" foam pipe insulation cut in half works great. You just jam it in between each section. Wind and ice will keep it in place. I just give a look over for a sec when I fill up and generally its good. Maybe I have to jam the edge back in slightly. Spend $4 and you can easily grill block your friend's Prius too.
Your winter Prius will go from 43mpg to 46.5mpg overnight. And it's much warmer inside. 10/10.
You don't want to do this if it's not cold outside or you'll go the other way and be less efficient as the radiator fans try to cool you off without the extra air flow. Obviously don't do this if you don't need heat in the cabin. But in the winter, you won't regret it. Block yo grill 100%.
Source: Owned a 2006 for 10 cold mf winters, put on 150k miles on it. Recently bought a 2010, can confirm it works great on gen 3.
###edit: see /u/Ellasandro's comment below. I'm doing it wrong on my 2010 by blocking the upper driver's side grill. The inverter radiator is in there and it needs to be kept cool for maximum lifespan.

Hey ya’ll!
My beloved 2006 E90 bmw 330i MT was finally put to rest a few months ago. Since then I’d been on the lookout for a MT, 300HP+ performance vehicle to replace it with.
Ruled out the Mustangs and the Camaros because I decided I wanted AWD for those trips to Tahoe. That ruled the Civic Type R out as well (plus idk if that styling works for any self respecting 30 something year old). Didn’t love the way my buddy’s STI drove and it’s interior was even worse. Focus RS’s were hard to find and had the same styling/interior issues - and it seems like BMW/Audi don’t really have any interest in MT’s anymore. That left me with the Golf R - checked every box and it helped that the mk 7.5 was the most aesthetically pleasing version of the Golf I’d seen in a while.
Some browsing on Carvana led to some buying on Carvana.
2018 R with 22k miles. Immaculate condition inside. 😁
I’m loving it. The power is plenty (certainly more than anything I‘d ever driven before, save for the time my dad acquired an E39 M5 for a hot second) and it handles like it’s got gorilla glue all over those tires. I’m quite thrilled/satisfied to say the least.
My one concern is the gas mileage. I’ve driven about 900 miles now and filled up a handful of times (always 91 from Costco). I’m struggling to stay at around 19-21 MPG combined. This is with plenty of cruise control (set around 82) on the highway and some fairly easy city miles. With my E90 6 cyl I used to average 22-25 mpg combined without ever thinking about my efficiency. I would drive that thing hard constantly and it remained consistent within that mpg range.
With the Golf I literally see the fuel gauge dwindling in front of my eyes if I even consider a hard pull. This has me driving the car far more timidly than I’d imagined and certainly makes the entire experience a bit less enjoyable.
Is this normal mileage for an R and do I just need to accept this is what a 300hp turbo vehicle will get? I was expecting to easily do 22-24 mpg with some spirited driving mixed in with my normal 80mph California highway cruises. I’m getting just under 300 miles out of a tank right now. If this is normal I suppose I just need to accept this and enjoy! But could something else be the culprit here? Maybe the previous owner threw a tune on there? Is Costco gas the issue? Was thinking of filling up with Shell next time to see if I can do any better. Any ideas/comments/suggestions welcome!
TL;DR: Got a Golf R recently and loving it but wo

So my sister for some reason wanted a Nissan juke. They got there stupid juke which they trashed and didn't maintain at all. Well a couple days ago while visiting the Juke shit itself. The car is likely totaled as the infamous Nissan CVT is the problem and needs to be replaced a long with a lot of other stuff. Anyway I am trying to tell my mom that a Toyota Corolla is the best option if they are just going to trash the thing again. My mom wants to get them another 10k car which is then going to suffer the same death as the juke. Could y'all let me know if I am right here or if there is a better option or something?
I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 Touring FWD (non-turbo) that I put the factory roof racks on a few months ago. At the time I was trying to figure out the MPG impact to see how bad it might be, and unfortunately I didn’t find the info I was looking for. So I’m sharing my experience just for people potentially looking for answers in the future.
- No roof rack
City MPG - 23mpg
Combined - 26.5mpg
Highway - 33mpg
- With factory roof rack (empty)
City MPG - 23mpg
Combined - 24.5mpg
Highway - 30mpg
I hand calculate my mileage after every tank, and I have the same route with basically no traffic every single day. What I found is about a 2mpg decrease in my normal drive (30% city, 70% freeway). My MPG gauge used to be fairly spot on, it would say I got 26mpg and I would get just about 26mpg, now it is always about 2mpg higher than what I actually get.
I didn’t notice much of a city difference, but that may also be because when I drive “city” the MPG varies so wildly with traffic lights, big hills, how fast I accelerate, etc. All that makes it nearly impossible to discern if there is a real difference.
The biggest difference is definitely on long freeway drives, the faster I go, the worse the racks make it. I used to be able to get ~33mpg on a 250 mile trip. Now I struggle to hit 30mpg going the same speed.
Hope that helps someone make their decision!
Hello, I’m a 22 year old college student who has roughly 60k in liquid cash and is looking for a car. This will not be my first car, but will be my only car (daily).
I am single and do not need a ton of space, 2 door or 4 door is fine, Manual is a must because I don’t need a fast car, just a fun car.
I am able to do all repairs on my own, all of them. I prefer Japanese-based manufacturers for obvious reasons.
I am also looking for good MPG, 25+ minimum combined. Preferably 30+.
I am 6 ft 175, not the biggest nor the smallest.
This car will be my college car and last a few years after college, then I will move onto to something nicer once I have a job, house, etc. I am a car guy who is also a Mechanical Engineering major, but I do not need the nicest car in the world. Just something fun, reliable, and good on gas.
For instance, I drove my dad’s old 94 ranger for years until it died at 270k miles. It’s 0-60 was probably 13 seconds but it was fun cause it was a manual.
Any recommendations is appreciated, and I am also open to any questions.
Talen Horton Tucker Last 7 Games: 26.3 MPG 6.4 /4.6 /2.9 on 33/11/83 shooting splits.
The guy is not ready yet. The Lakers are forcing him to be a focal rotational piece where he should be a guy who gets 10-15 minutes a night. Of course he’s not the reason they are losing but they need Nunn and Bazemore to take these minutes.

He has played 21 games this season and has 57 assists.
Only two centers with more assists are Chris Webber and Brad Daughtery. They are both All-NBA caliber big men who played over 30 MPG, Alperen Sengun only plays 18 MPG.
He’s averaging 2.7 APG this season. Only big men to average more are Bam Adebayo, KAT, Jokic, Vucevic, Embiid, Horford and Plumlee. These guys all play 24+ MPG
He’s been so good this season for a rookie
I'm getting 270 miles from a full tank right now on my 2004 Saab 9 3 Linear before the fuel light turns on. Really thinking this isn't good fuel economy but it is a 17 year old car in Texas. What could cause this? I've got a few month old air filter installed, new thermostat, new factory recommended sparks, stock yellow top coilpacks, gotten a wheel alignment, proper pressure in tires, no aggressive driving. Only thing I suspect is cleaning the maf and replacing the O2 sensor. Any ideas?
