Expect to have an effect on my mileage. So far it feels like it's rolling farther. Next tank should tell the tale, this one is tainted with two trips to the mechanic and him driving it a little bit.

Nice tank PaleMelanesian!
Glad you're enjoying the improvements. I'm about to do this job myself--almost the exact set of replacements, though it's possible I'll let the joints alone and just replace the hub bearing units. Are you willing to report what you paid for the repair? -james

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
