Tires
I stopped at a garage sale yesterday and saw four 18s tires for $75.00.
They looked like they had 10,000 miles or less miles. I was tempted but I remembered this post of Ben's and gasoline at $4.29 yesterday, I declined. I would have really been tempted had they been 17s. They were a steal though in my opinion. Someone with a SS would have snapped them up.

Welcome to the Forum! Very good mileage suggestions above. I would add that when you are doing your mods, resist the urge to plus size your wheels and tires if mileage is more important to you than aesthetics. The extra rolling resistance of the wider tires can cost you quite a bit of mpg's.

tires , suggestions, check, oil and air filter addressed, keep her clean and drive her often, I did put in a K&N stock location replacement filter 3 years ago, and get 33 to 34 MPG run my tires at 35 PSI (personal preference) and those AC Delco plugs are a must , I have wasted time and money trying the Bosch Platinums, and E- whatever plugs they did trip codes, so, enjoy the ride!!!
