My struts/shocks are the originals from 1991. 215,000 miles on the car. 60 PSI in my tires.

I sort of figured that. The original ones are still on and doing just fine.
Sometimes the Cincinnati area becomes pot hole city after a hard winter, with thousands
of the ph's and are slow to deal with them.
guess I would be too.
Thanks

I am still learning where to and not to and the Interstate is not the place to do that unless
you want to be crushed by everyone else Everyone around here drives 70 or +
so I pick my places. Appreciate all you feeding back ideas and what you do. Gives me
more incentive to continue.
Thousands of thanks to everyone

Try to find a backroad with a slower speed limit and leave early! It might be cheaper!

It does make for a harder ride. Yeah, you may go through struts a bit faster. But looked at another way, I'm saving about $1.50 per tank on the basis of my harder tires, which pays for struts pretty quickly.

"Thanks. I get off of the interstate asap and take back/parallel roads so I can save
gas and my butt. Sometimes, it/the interstate, can't be avoided but I am constantly'
scheming to find a way around i-75 OR i-71 but sometimes I can't without running into
btb traffic. I am working at it though. Guys are giving me all sorts of new ideas.
Appreciate and try to incorporate each one as I can. Gas at 3.49 makes me work harder.
Thank you guys, we are gas saving buddies now.
