That's why I'm getting the 6 speed.  |
Well now I'm looking for more ways to gain milage. I got 1/2 a mile in gain with synthetic gear oil in the rear diff, and from and average of 20.47 over 10 tanks, to an 2 tank average of 22.08 by putting mobil-1 0w-30 in the engine. After 8 more tanks I'll know the true gain of the synthetic engine oil, but on the previuos 10 tanks I've never hit 22 before. Not even close.
The only other thing I'm thinking of doing is draining my power steering fluid and using mobil-1 synthetic atf in there. Haven't changed that fluid since I owned the car, just added. It probably won't help much, but it needs to be changed anyway. |
