Hello All,

My name is Rob and I am the owner of a 2003 Kia Optima LX V6. It's nice to see a Internet resource for Kia owners where all the people arent bashing the car. I bought mine in May of 2003 and have less than 24K miles on it.

I'm very happy with the purchase with one exception (and thats why I'm here)

My gas mileage (and from what I have read many others) in town stinks! I get perhaps 17 or so to the gallon. I'll be looking for some tips on mods or maintenance to improve my gas mileage.

Thanks


Rob

Welcome to the site. Glad to hear you like your Optima. I have a 04 Optima LX with 9k miles on it and its great. I do hear ya on the gas milage. Its not the greatest. Post your questions/thoughts about that in the Optima forum along with any other topics about your Optima and somebody will help ya out. Glad to have another Optima owner on board.
