I think my biggest problem ow is the new tires, I lost about 4 mpg by going to the softer yokohamas but teh old ones were shot and one had a bad belt in it, so now averageing around 38 with 34 pounds pressure, tire sidewall says 50 max so may try going to 40, I filled in the brake vent area on the bumper cover with some plastic so that should help a bit not flush mounted but recessed area is nnow blocked off, also think i need the other front wheel bearing also , not too bad once youve done one and I paint and clean everything up. I am using the new hammered finish from rustoleum , holds up very very well and paints right over firm rust nicely, painted the anchor chain on my boat and it was on the deck all winter in the slip and still seems pretty goodpainted up the spindle on the car and looks good also ,
