This is 50-50 city/hwy mixed driving. When going through town easy stops and starts help.
Patience is a virtue.
5mpg is about 70 miles extra per filup.

It is great to see that people actually got the muffler bearing joke. Thank You
Some people will buy ANYTHING!
My next mods are a new electronic camfibrilator and a hi flow carbshaft, as I believe the reverse polarity cats would conflict with my fuel magnet.
I tried nitrogen in my tires, but it was accidently switched with nitrous- which may explain my thought process
Anyone got a DIY pic set for carbshaft mod?

Are you reaming out the carbshaft to make room for the hydrostatic comp springs or just opening up the reabersackens?

Ok Today the dealer said $$$428 DOLLARS $$$ for them to replace muffler filter(s) as suggested on here, and he would install grease fittings in the muffler bearings at no additional charge.
I guess they failed to notice my brand new sealed center muffler bearing!! chumps
Does anyone know if that is a good price or should I use
jcwhitney part #2-FU-LL-OF-B.S.000-BSBS

Yeah.. I'd go with the JCWhitney part. Proven technology and quality every time. While you're at it, see if they still sell the "Fire Injector" spark plugs. Been meaning to get a set of those for years.

I have not had any reabersakens in my tool box for years. And if I did, I doubt they'd fit anything on my TL.
