changing water?
so my nitrites are still very high. and i just did a 30-35 gal water change and they are still very high. im wandering how long i have to wait to do another water change. and is there a limit to how many i can do in a day.
post #2 of 9 Old 05-11-2007, 10:00 PM
i think 5 days is what i was told. try cleaning your filter 5 days after u do a water change it might help
post #3 of 9 Old 05-11-2007, 10:17 PM Thread Starter
for some reason i dont think you are right. ive been told by many to change 20% daily before, and not to clean my filters that often. im just wanting to know whats the soonest i can change my water.
post #4 of 9 Old 05-12-2007, 08:18 AM
how big is your tank? that really makes a difference in how often and how much you should change. but in any situation where poinsoning is possible (such as in your case)- it is preferable that you do the change to save the fish. I had a tank once that I had this problem with- I had to do a 30-35% daily to keep the fish alive. some think frequent water changes slow down the cycle- i didn't care, I just wanted my fish to be alright.

Like Mia said, 30-35% daily won't do any harm, and may indeed be a good thing.

Just curious if you have no fish in the tank, why are you concerned about water changes at all?
Pardon the pun, but I'm hooked!
post #8 of 9 Old 05-12-2007, 04:16 PM Thread Starter
the nitrites are too high. i want to get them down so i can put fish in the tank
post #9 of 9 Old 05-12-2007, 04:39 PM
I understand that part... do you have a nitrate reading? If they are showing they should take care of the nitrite spike without the need to change water if you have no fish. I wouldn't add fish until the nitrites are 0 and the nitrates are showing a readable amount.
Pardon the pun, but I'm hooked!

We can only imagine what Seal will say when he claps eyes on these pictures of his ex-wife Heidi Klum with her new bodyguard boyfriend.
The singer has been openly critical of the supermodel's new relationship with her bodyguard Martin Kristen, accusing her of "fornicating with the help", and only last week Martin was said to have told Seal to "quit disrespecting Heidi".
But as the new couple stepped out over the weekend, they didn't seem to care who saw them looking very much loved up.
Heidi had brought Martin along to help her support her son as he played a football match in LA and he looked very at home with her brood as they cheered on from the sidelines.
Heidi only confirmed the pair were seeing each other last month, but played down the romance during a US TV appearance.
Asked if she was in a "proper relationship" on Katie Couric's show, she said: "I don't even know if I can call it that. I don't know."
Elsewhere, the model has just been announced as the host of the MTV EMAs.

Draw and Bonus Point Rule Changes Proposed
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking public comment on proposed bonus point rule changes.
One proposal would allow individuals with a valid hunting license who are unable to hunt during a particular season to purchase and accumulate bonus points.
Another would establish a provision for the department to reinstate bonus points for military personnel or public agency employees unable to use their hunt permit-tag because of mobilization or activation in response to a declared national or state emergency.
The following public meetings are scheduled to take comment on the proposed rule modifications:
Sept. 18, 6 p.m., Flagstaff, Game and Fish office, 3500 S. Lake Mary Rd.
Sept. 23, 6 p.m. Phoenix, Game and Fish headquarters, 2222 N. Greenway Rd.
Sept. 25, 6 p.m., Mesa, Game and Fish office, 7200 E. University Dr.
Sept. 30, 6 p.m., Tucson, Game and Fish office, 555 N. Greasewood Rd.

TYPING INSTRUCTIONS 7.1 General This section includes additional information for final typing of the project report. Some information given earlier under 'Manuscript preparation' shall also be referred. The impressions on the typed/duplicated/printed copies should be black in colour. If Computer printers are used uniformity of the font in the same project report shall be observed. A sub-heading at the bottom of a page must have at least two full lines below it or else it should be carried over to the next page. The last word of any page should not be split using a hyphen. One and a half spacing should be used for typing the general text. The general text shall be typed in Font Style Times New Roman and Font Size 12.

Even paragraph should commence 3 spaces below the last line of the preceding paragraph, the first letter in the paragraph being offset from the left hand margin by 20 mm.
Page 6 of 9
8. NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS 8.1 Page Numbering All pages numbers (whether it be in Roman or Arabic numbers) should be typed without punctuation on the upper right hand corner 20mm from top with the last digit in line with the right hand margin. The preliminary pages of the project report (such as Title page, Acknowledgement, Table of Contents etc.) should be numbered in lower case Roman numerals. The title page will be numbered as (i) but this should not be typed. The page immediately following the title page shall be numbered (ii) and it should appear at the top right hand corner as already specified. Pages of main text, starting with Chapter 1 should be consecutively numbered using Arabic numerals. 8.2 Numbering of Chapters, Divisions and Sub-Divisions The numbering of chapters, divisions and sub-divisions should be done using Arabic numerals only and further decimal notation should be used for numbering the divisions and sub-divisions within a chapter. For example sub-division 4 under division 3 belonging to chapter 2 should be numbered as 2.3.4. The caption for the sub-division should immediately follow the number assigned to it. Every chapter beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered using Arabic numerals. Appendices included should also be numbered in an identical manner starting with Appendix 1. 8.3 Numbering of Tables and Figures Tables and Figures appearing anywhere in the thesis should bear appropriate numbers. The rule for assigning such numbers is illustrated through an example. Thus, if a figure in Chapter 3, happens to be the fourth then assign 3.4 to that figure. Identical rules apply for tables except that the word Figure is replaced by the word Table. If figures (or tables) appear in appendices then figure 3 in Appendix 2 will be designated as Figure A 2.3. If a table to be continued into the next page this may be done, but no line should be drawn underneath an unfinished table. The top line of the table continued into the next page should, for example read Table 2.1 (continued) placed centrally and underlined. 8.4 Numbering of Equations Equations appearing in each Chapter or Appendix should be numbered serially, the numbering commencing a fresh for each Chapter or Appendix. Thus for example, an equation appearing in Chapter 2, if it happens to be the eighth equation in that Chapter should be numbered (2.8) thus: f = k (2.8)
While referring to this equation in the body of the thesis it should be referred to as Equation (2.8). 9. BINDING SPECIFICATIONS * Project report submitted (5 copies) for MBA should be bound using flexible cover of thick white art paper. The spine for the bound volume should be black Calico of 20mm width. The cover should be printed in black letters and the text for printing should be identical to what has been prescribed for the title page.

Nana San
Restaurants serving traditional sushi form a small club in Orange County, so it's no surprise that Nana San has found a large following.
The little restaurant in Newport Beach bordering the 73 toll road (Nana San means seven three in Japanese) often has a wait before it opens for dinner. Nabbing a seat at the bar might take a little bit of patience, but this sushi is worth it.
Simple nigiri is what Nana San specializes in – elegantly draped cuts of fish cover sticky rice that's predaubed with wasabi, so no extra seasoning like soy sauce is necessary. Unlike some of the snootier sushi spots, American favorites like California or spicy tuna rolls are available as well. They're popular with the lunch crowd, and it's to Nana San's credit that it balances affordable sushi combos with its more gourmet fare.
To sample the best of best, order omakase – chef's choice. Small plates of expertly crafted courses will come out until you've had your fill. For about $50 per person, you'll leave stuffed, a great value for this type of food.
A simple pairing of cucumber and white fish starts one meal. Halibut is punched up with a jalapeno topping. The more tender red snapper is dressed delicately with yuzu and sea salt.
The other dishes show the chef's range, from decadent monkfish liver to lotus root tempura with a cool tuna topping. Of course, the star of the show is the sushi – buttery king salmon, scallops, uni, yellowtail and more. Each brings such unique texture and flavor that it's incredible these can all be classified as seafood.
The only trouble is this might spoil you for average sushi. At least, judging by the crowd waiting for a table, you're in good company.

If you're considering exporting list and transaction data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to another version of QuickBooks Desktop, we'd like to provide you with a little information, just so you understand the capabilities and limitations of the process.
Important: Please take careful note of the limitations listed below for the various list names. Most export errors are due to list names that are too long. If you have any list names that are longer than the limits described here, you must edit the items and shorten the names before exporting.
Software Required:
Size Limitations:
All your accounts are exported to accounts with the same name with the following exceptions:
If you track expenses billed to a customer, the associated income account is not exported. In QuickBooks desktop, products and services are converted to items and are tracked in the Item List with the following exceptions:
All data about each customer is exported with the following exceptions:
The following lists don't exist in QBO. These lists will be created in QuickBooks desktop and will contain their default list items except:
When you export transactions, you go beyond exporting the balances in each account; you also export the transactions behind each balance. Invoices, Sales Receipts, Credit Memos, and Refund Receipts are exported. Recurring transactions as well as Estimates, Statements, Purchase Orders and Activity logs are NOT exported. Charges and credits are non-posting transactions, so they are not exported. Instead, the invoices that contain them are exported. Before you export, use New Invoice to post unbilled charges and credits onto invoices.
Paychecks and Liability Payments
After exporting, if you want to continue running your payroll with a QuickBooks payroll service (such as QuickBooks Assisted Payroll, QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll Plus, or QuickBooks Standard Payroll), you need to go through a payroll setup process again and enter year-to-date information.
Cash purchases are converted to checks.
Fund transfers are converted to general journal entries.
All time activity information is exported with the exception of Location, as there is no comparable feature in the desktop editions.
Note: The 'Is Taxable' designation on the customer record is lost when exporting online data into the desktop edition. Customers, therefore, must audit their customer list to reassign the Taxable/Non-Taxable designation on each customer, prior to invoicing for billable time.
After exporting, the Reconcile screen in the desktop edition may show the beginning balance as zero and display old transactions.

Please keep me updated with developments on this theatre. For some reason I am not getting updates. Thanks!
Please keep me updated on developments with this theatre. Thanks.
Just following link. Thanks!
The Gladstone 4 probably was gold auditoriams with red seats. That was the 'theme' Dickinson used In that time frame. Likewise the lowercase 'cinema' with roman numerals was also a part of their style.
I worked for Dickinson when they bought the Salina 'Movies.' The projectors were Cinemacanna with the large 10,000 foot reels. You had to rewind them slowly which added extra time between showings. The Salina theatre still stands without equipment.
I know it's pure speculation at this point as to the future of this venue, but I do not see how Cinemark could reopen it. No one will want to go into it regardless. Columbine High School was remolded after their shooting, but you still know what happened there. It will be interesting to see what the corporate staff decides to do.
Adding link, Thank you.
Originally built and operated by Mann Theatres.
Following link, thank you!
Please note that the Fox Theatre listed on this site and the Fox Garvey are the same theatre. The 'technical' name for the Fox is Fox Garvey, named for the Garvey family who the part of the Wichita business district that the theatre was located in. The theatre was to have been equipped with 70mm but never took place.
The Westloop 6, Varsity, Campus and Sky Vue Drive-in were originally Commonwealth Theatres. Manhattan was a big town for Commonwealth as it is home to Kansas State University. I am not sure as to what order after Commonwealth was sold that Carmike took over the town but they eventually built a 12 screen complex. The city fathers are not happy with Carmike and have been looking for another operator to build in the town.
It was a stunning marquee, you can still see the upright 'poles' in the picture at the top of this page. Thanks for posting. —jw
Following link. Thank you!
This theatre was originally built by National General and later operated by Mann and ultimately by Dickinson. At one point Dickinson added 3 screens inside the mall. The original 'Star Wars' played there and the auditoriam was upgraded to Dolby sound at the time. This theatre and the Century 21 in Springfield Missouri are identical except the auditoriam face the opposite direction. The theatre still is attached to the front of the mall as state above and the street sign has been converted into general advertising for the shopping center. (The reference to 21st and Amidon would be the Twin Lakes operated by Commonwealth.)
Following link, thank you!
Following link. Thank you!
Re-new link. Thank you!
It was my understanding that when Wallace (Hollywood) built the new 16 screen theatre that they intended to close this theatre but ran into lease problems with the shopping center owners. There was some sort of clause that they could not open another theatre within 'so many miles' of the mall. So they opted to keep it open and reduced it to discount status.
I remember being in this theatre in the early 1980's very nice and excellent presentation. Sad to hear that it is closed.
I was in the IMAX auditorium this afternoon and saw the "Avengers." It was the 3rd week of the run and the place was packed! The line of sight is excellent as the stadium seating is staggered so no heads block your view and you also have plenty of leg room. There are no commercials before the feature, and they are proud of that fact. A manager greets the audience just before the show starts and announces the policies of the theatre. A nice light show is then projected on the waterfall curtain as the 2001 theme is played as the curtain raises it is a nice effect with the multi-colored lights. Some of the side lighting fixtures look a little plastic, but for the art-deco theme that may all one could get as well. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. Restrooms had lines in them after the show was over. For those of us in Kansas it is the only good screen to watch a movie on.
Following link. Thank you.
What is the current status of this theatre. DIckinson is either closing or selling off their screens, and are not doing any upgrading. Also was this originally a General Cinema house?

Are battle mechanics unveiled too slowly?
I'm in the minority as I feel they were just about right (though maybe could have been a little sooner), and I was given the right amount of time with each new mechanic to get used to it before another layer of complexity was added on. And the system is complex, if I had access to all of those systems in the first hour I would have had a fucking stroke. Brad has been pretty vocal on this issue in the review and the bombcast but personally I feel the game isn't any worse for rolling out it's features gradually.
My only real gripe is with the party selection, even when you have 4 party members you can't choose between them in the first 20 hours, and some stages of the game are more egregious in this respect than others especially as you have to ensure not to focus too much on some characters as you can be left being forced to use underpowered characters which you have neglected.

I agree with you and think that the mechanics were given out at the right times, if they gave you what you had at the end, right at the beginning then I believe that would have been very confusing and difficult to understand.
I never found it too bad that you couldn't use some characters at certain times. I mean, they accumulate the experience that you are getting anyway, so you just need to remember to spend it on them once you get them back in your party. It's so much better than the old FF's where say I would leave Tifa out of my team, and all the game does is increase her level every so often.
I am with you on the slow rollout. Some reviewers, including Brad, seemed to feel that everything became available to you too slowly, but I really didn't have a problem with it at all. Sure, they could have unloaded everything onto you in the first couple of hours, and I probably could have lived with it, but it was just as good to have them gradually give you more and more control. Maybe I just enjoy games that move a little slower, but I thought the pacing throughout was excellent, and it never dragged thanks to the storyline and interesting characters, and the battle system even in its initial form is enjoyable enough that it keeps you engaged until the next layer of it is revealed.
But then again I don't get A LOT of common criticisms of this game, for me it's the best Final Fantasy since 10, and easily one of my favorites of the entire series.
I'm with you on those points especially with unused characters still earning CP, I remember being around 9 years old when playing FF8 and when the time came to use an all female party they were vastly underleved ( as a result of me not wanting to play as girls which is pretty immature even for a 9 year old) and as such 13 made a big improvement. I would have like to switch party members during battle as you could in FF10 though.
Man let me tell you about the other possibility aka Resonance of Fate. Holy shit that game just chucks you into a reasonably complex battle system with nothing. All the tutorials are optional and even then they aren't great. Even though i'm liking the game, I much prefer the way FF13 did things.
" @Tebbit: I'm with you on those points especially with unused characters still earning CP, I remember being around 9 years old when playing FF8 and when the time came to use an all female party they were vastly underleved ( as a result of me not wanting to play as girls which is pretty immature even for a 9 year old) and as such 13 made a big improvement. I would have like to switch party members during battle as you could in FF10 though. "Yeah, I miss that feature from FF10. It was so awesome!
It just feels like your topic is a bit vague. What exactly do you mean by "battle mechanics"? Because on the technical side all actual mechanics in battle are available after the first half an hour (minus summons) it just constantly builds by unlocking new things for you to do. And that is a classic game design choice. Look at Zelda, you get the combat mechanics from the start but as you progress through the game your options for killing dudes and solving puzzles increase. Or a game like Mass Effect where you are shooting dudes from the start but skills are unlocked as you go via the skill trees. FF13 is no different from that.
If you just mean general game mechanics (like not upgrading weapons till chapter 4 or whenever) then yeah some things are slow but there are story purposes for 90% of the stuff people say is rolled out slowly, and I wouldn't have it any other way personally. Being able to customize your battle team in chapters before 10 just didn't make sense, there was no reason for it, as an example.
I think they were rolled out too slow. Not saying having everything within the first few hours would be wise (and as someone said the story dictates when certain things are introduced), but considering the way the game plays out - with battling the only real deviation from story progressing segments - parts of the early game were very boring for me. As for the party limitations on switching, it sounds like a drag, but it didn't bother me too much. The only time I really bothered to switch party members and come up with specific paradigms were all for late-game enemies and bosses where the restriction was already lifted.
The problem isn't so much with the mechanics getting introduced, it gets that out of the way within the first 5 or 6 hours. The issue is that after that you spend FOREVER with non-complicated battle after non-complicated battle. The changing of which characters you have seems to be an attempt at making you switch up your strategies, but the fights themselves never feel like they're getting difficult during that part. It basically turns into COM/RAV/RAV or COM/RAV and then switch to a medic for waaaaay too long.
The battle system is dealt out fine, but it takes too long for the game to make you feel like you're not having your hand held.
I hope that makes sense! :(

The Law Office of Kelly Daniele is very professional, very thorough, and very knowledgeable. I've seen some lawyers off in all different directions at once but this lawyer dedicates her time and attention to the client. I would highly recommend her services.
Posted by Diane
Ms. Daniele was an outstanding lawyer. She took the time to get to know me and what was important to me during a very scarey time in my life. Going through a divorce is a life-changing event. Ms. Daniele held my hand through it all, and explained everything from day one. She always kept the future in sight for me, when I could barely think about tomorrow. My case had some twists and turns that she took as a challenge. Ms. Daniele never backed down and kept me strong. She is witty, energetic, bright, and most importantly honest. Her staff is also wonderful! They are helpful and always there to help. Ms. Kelly Daniele and her staff are top notch!

I have been dealing with Ms. Danile for many years and have found her for the an outstanding attorney. She really looks out for me and my firm.

A new episode airs Sunday night at midnight.
Finally, they tell us WHICH Seattle.
Thekids from Voltron and Battle of the Planets never had to deal with this.
I don't think thats a cartoon Shake! Frylock is on the ball and ready for action! no Meatward not the kitty Carl is so depraved :erm: even with those amazing legs Shake still gets a beating. thats one way to help an old lady why to boston?? I don't think they needed that lousy robot to counsel Paul! they're in for a long story...
Okay I'm going to just get this off my chest right now: Aqua Teen writers, please stop with the dead kitty jokes. It's bad enough I'm sensitive to that crap as it is but this is either the third or fourth time you've shoved a joke like in when the episode doesn't need it and for no reason.
But really other than that, pretty funny episode. Only Master Shake could have a giant pair of iron legs and still lose them and get beaten up by an ordinary bouncer at a disco.

Santa brought this for Christmas. He didn't tell me everything I had for my 27 yo tv would not work with the new one. So after cutting the legs on a sofa table, getting a new Dish dish/HD box, a Blu-ray, a new VVHS/DVD player and a few 25' expensive cables we were up & running.Please note that this is our first HD tv and that we watch it in an overhead low light great-room from a distance of 18' from our eyes to the screen. In this environment this tv is wonderful!None of the negative tv issues apply. It does not dominate the room, higher resolution would be a waste at 18', it has all the brightness we need plus some to go during the day, it can be comfortably viewed from any angle and we play the sound for movies through 600w @ stereo that fills the room with sound. The normal speakers are fine for everything else. I don't believe we could be more pleased if we had spent 20 G's more. Besides we needed a lot of the savings to upgrade the rest of the stuff.3D? You have not seen Avatar until you have seen it on this tv in 3D. Santa said this tv cost less than our 1985 26". Best deal out there!Hilditch

This is my first HDTV. Love it! I've had it for only 2 weeks, and haven't even used the 3D yet. I also have a blu ray player, which has been fun to fool around with. I truly adore watching TV on this set. I hope I feel the same way about it in a few years!

Outstanding Plasma TV
By Samsonger94550
from Livermore, CA
My family & I bought this TV to replace and upgrade our old LCD TV that was blacking out on us. We researched & compared other brands but they didn't compare to the quality, features and reputation SAMSUNG offers. We are very HAPPY with the choice we made and we got this unit at a great price too. If you are looking for a new TV; you can't go wrong with this SAMSUNG unit.

A Great Inexpensive Big Screen TV
By zingabod
from saint louis MO
This is a great big screen television for very little money. The picture is excellent. But do not purchase it if you need a lot of hookups in the back of tv for different things like blu-ray, etc. there is only 1 hook-up and I have to move between 2 machines I have when I want to change. Otherwise, great tv for the price. enjoy watching it.
Even more than I expected!

About Me Enthusiast
Since this TV doesn't come with wifi, I bought the Samsung 3D bluray player to go with it. I can use all the apps thru the bluray player. There is some glare, but in a darker room it's fine. The black's are super dark and I cannot tell that this is a 720p. The sharpness and contrast are fantastic. For the price nothing else comes close to this winner!

Post Content
More than 229,170 Massachusetts children live in food-insecure households. Without school meals to depend on, food insecurity can rise as the summer approaches. Since 1968, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) has provided food assistance for low-income families in Massachusetts. The program provides free, nutritious meals to children 18 years old and under during school summer vacation at SFSP meal sites. SFSP also offers a wealth of nutrition resources to families across the state.
Who is eligible?
Program eligibility is determined by either school or census data. SFSP meal sites are located in communities with a school at which at least 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Additionally, a community is eligible for the program if at least 50% of the children under 19 years old are at or below 185% of the federal poverty level.
What is the difference between an "open" and "closed" meal site?
An "open" or area site provides free meals to any child at the site; no registration is required. Meal sites may operate as an open/area site if they draw their attendance from a school in which 50 percent of the children enrolled are eligible for free or reduced price school meals.
A "closed" or "enrolled" site limits participation to children enrolled in the site's program(s). For example, a three-week arts program with 25 registered participants would be considered a closed site since the meals served are only available to the children that are signed up for the program. Eligibility for a closed site is determined by various criteria including school and census data.
Who pays for meals?
For each meal SFSP provides to a child, sponsors receive a per-meal reimbursement. Funding for meals comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but is paid to sponsors by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). A sponsor may be a public school department, local government agency, camp, or private non-profit organization. For-profit entities are not eligible to become SFSP sponsors.
What is a sponsor?
A sponsor administers the SFSP for one or more meal sites. The sponsor is responsible for all financial and administrative aspects of the program.
Sponsors may purchase meals from the local school food service authority or a private caterer. Vendors must prepare meals for the sites according to federal nutrition guidelines as well as local health and sanitation standards.
What kinds of meals are served at the program?
All food served must meet federal nutrition requirements. Meals may be hot, cold, or a combination of both depending on the sponsor's or vendor's capabilities.
How do I become a summer meal site location?
Schools, park programs, community agencies, churches, or other entities interested in becoming a SFSP site should contact the Child Nutrition Outreach Program.
How can I get involved?
SFSP is always looking for volunteers and interns to help assist at meal sites. Community specific internships vary based on location and potential duties. Volunteers are welcome to help provide program outreach and promotion in their local community. Contact your local summer meal site for more information.
If your family is in need of food assistance during the summer months, consider the Summer Food Service Program as a resource. Introduce a SFSP site to your community, or volunteer today to ensure children across the state won't go hungry this summer.
How are you assisting families in need during the summer vacation period? Let us know in the comments below, or tweet us at @MassGov.

Oracle Launches JRuby Website
Oracle has just released the first, major JRuby application, thus demonstrating the viability of the Java port of the Ruby scripting language.
Oracle's Web 2.0 platform, Oracle Mix, is the home of the first major JRuby application. JRuby is a Java implementation of the Ruby scripting language which became popular mainly due to the Rails Web framework. Sun took on the two JRuby core developers, Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo, a year ago to promote development of the Ruby port.
The third programmer in the JRuby gang, Ola Bini, was a member of a team that completed the new Oracle site in just five weeks. Besides Bini, the team consisted of three colleagues from Thoughtworks and one Oracle employee. The new site is based on Oracle's database, application, directory server, proprietary single sign-on solution and JRuby on Rails. Oracle Mix will support communications between the company and customers in future, providing information to developers and giving them a platform to exchange information and views.

With fuel economy showing up on even luxury-car buyers' radar screen and government regulations ratcheting upward the world over, it's no surprise Porsche AG engineers put as much focus on miles per gallon as performance in developing the new Panamera 4-door sedan.
The German auto maker says it employed lightweight materials, advanced powertrain technology and a few aerodynamic tricks to wring out an extra 4.4 mpg (1.9 km/L) on the way to a rating of 16/24 mpg (14.6-9.8 L/100 km) for the Panamera with its naturally aspirated 4.8L V-8.
The fuel-economy figures compare favorably with the 14/20-mpg (16.8-11.8 L/100 km) average for the much heavier Cayenne cross/utility vehicle with the same engine and are good enough to position the Panamera atop its class in carbon-dioxide emissions, at 253 g/km, according to the auto maker.
No Panamera, including the 500-hp all-wheel-drive Turbo, is subject to a gas-guzzler tax in the U.S.
At a backgrounder in Elkhart Lake, WI, for the new model — the first 4-door sedan in Porsche's history — Program Manager Stefan Ultsch details how the the 3,968-lb. (1,800-kg) car is able to squeeze extra miles out of a gallon of gas.
Among the biggest contributors to fuel efficiency is the Panamera's first-in-class 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, Ultsch says. The DCT can be shifted manually, and a Sport-mode button on the center console changes the automatic shifts to a more aggressive pattern that holds lower gears longer.
But in standard automatic mode, the smooth-shifting gearbox allows the engine to work less, even at high speeds. In the Panamera Turbo model, the engine turns at just 1,200 rpm at a cruising speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). That's about 1,000 rpm less than its competitors, Ultsch says.
The Panamera also is first in its class with stop/start technology. Drivers can deactivate the system, but when engaged it's good for an extra 0.4 mpg (0.2 km/L) the engineer says.
Also making a difference is the coupe-like aerodynamic design, which Ultsch estimates at a plus 1.1 mpg (0.5 km/L). He says the standard model achieves a 0.29 drag coefficient, with the Turbo model only slightly worse at 0.30 due to wider wheels and bigger air intakes.
An underbody cover that stretches the width and length of the car and an adjustable rear spoiler help the Panamera slice through the air.
The spoiler deploys automatically at 56 mph (90 km/h). In Turbo models, it adjusts to a steeper angle to apply more down force on the rear axle at speeds above 127 mph (205 km/h). It also can be activated via a console-mounted button. Porsche says the Panamera is the first car in its class with "active aerodynamics."
More efficient thermal management allows the V-8 to heat up quickly, resulting in a 1.1-mpg improvement, Ultsch says.
More exotic materials are employed to take weight out of the powertrain. Use of magnesium for the valve control box and cover cut 5.5 lbs. (2.5 kg), and aluminum for the camshaft adjusters trimmed another 3.75 lbs. (1.7 kg).
Aluminum bolts employed with all magnesium components and to connect the engine and transmission shaved 2.2 lbs. (1 kg). Porsche also thinned the walls of the intake manifold, saving 2.7 lbs. (1.2 kg). The block and head are made of aluminum as well.
The auto maker took more than 5 lbs. (2.3 kg) out of the crankshaft and connecting rods in the 4.8L V-8, compared with those in the Cayenne engine.
The base, rear-drive Panamera S V-8 gets a magnesium oil-flow housing that weighs 4.4 lbs. (2 kg) less than the aluminum component used in the AWD Cayenne and Panamera 4S.
The reduction in friction, alone, from the lighter-weight moving parts provides a 0.6 mpg (0.3 km/L) gain, Ultsch says.
Porsche also had to modify the Cayenne V-8 so it fits under the hood of the lower-profile Panamera. The oil sump is flatter than typical, and the driveshaft runs directly through the crankcase in AWD versions of the car.
Porsche specified lighter-weight material for the Panamera's chassis and body components, as well. Aluminum is used for the spring strut supports up front, the impact damper supports, front longitudinal arms and fender supports. Some rear body panels also are made of aluminum, as are the hood, doors, rear hatch and optional roof rack.
Door window frames are magnesium, while the trough in the luggage compartment is made of plastic.
