Good job with the t-stat, Tony. Where is your temp gauge needle now? I'm pretty sure that your '98 should ride just shy of the 1/2 mark, like mine. Chances are that you could have bumped your temp up with the a new stat and bump it even higher by grinding the pin more. FWIW when I replaced my stat many years ago I didn't notice any difference in mileage...I was keeping track of my mileage but I wasn't trying to hypermile either...
I'm running high 30s so far this winter...
