So the tire situation evaporated after I took it to Goodyear, they rebalanced the tires and the problem went away. I tried having them put the bad tire on the front again but the problem still did not return. During this time I found that all the tires were not round, not just one. To my surprise I ...

Made an earnest effort to work on the car this past weekend. I just have one head left to remove and disassembly is complete. The back cylinder on the driver side was the one taking water. I curse the designer that had that wiring harness and EGR tube bolted to the back of the head. Interesting that...

Re: 29.7mpg

Maybe they are referrring to a stick shift. Rather "lug" in 3rd than downshift to 2nd for example. Not sure how to apply that to an automatic car.

Made 23.4 mpg with the SS last tank. EPA says 24 highway - hoping to beat that with mixed city/highway driving. Overall my SS is up to 20.7 mpg over the last couple months. Prior to last Friday the highest it has been is 20.2. So in just a couple hundred miles I have raised the average .5 mpg. The m...
