remove ur racks and find out for urself....lol. The tire thing... i only ment that i'd rather put extra air in the tires than take my racks off again. if anyone needs to pinch that much mpg out of their ride,than they should just buy a honda..lol

^^true.

depends on the maintenance that is kept and how you drive it. I am pretty **** about mine. I tihink I said it before... I changed the gear oil in front and rear diffs with RP. and the t/c too. I even run RP in the engine. At every oil change i run Lucas fuel treatment in the tank for a weeks worth of fillups..2x's.

i dont know if you guys can see my sig but....
I also have a full exhaust minus a header,with highflow cat,along with neon injectors and 235 duratracs.

Also...as i have said that i am trimed with 4" b/s rims on it. Today I filled up and got 23mpg.
I baby the **** out of her and drive half of my commute on a highway and the other on a rural rt. where the speed limit is no higher than 45. 46 miles one way. I dont go over 60 and i dont shift above 2200rpms.

basically how she looks now. this pic doesnt show the rears trimmed.
