Probably going to wait as long as I possibly can and get a new clutch, rebuild the trans, new master cylinder(from tick performance), slave cylinder, and speed bleeder. When I rebuild it I'm going to add the Viper gears which GM added to the T-56s in 2000!

Yeah 14 is pretty terrible for the V6. When I had my 2001 V6 I never calculated it but I'm SURE it wasn't that bad!

And when I make the chewbacca sound at the gas pump... my MPG goes up! So maybe you need to just do that more?

I feel like my gas mileage is pretty bad. I'm going to calculate it I just filed it out. I have filed my car up 3 times in about 2 weeks and I don't drive too much.

I've been consistently getting 26 MPG with my '98 V6 automatic in thirty to forty degree temps; 27 on my most recent fill up.
