My main focus wasn't gas mileage, it was performance and longevity. The racing radiator that I installed had no built in trans oil cooler. I used to live in Asheville, so climbing long, steep mountains in hot weather was a daily occurrence, I didn't go easy on it while climbing, I added probably 30-40 HP over what this car had stock, I used to occasionally pull a "small" trailer (although sometimes I overloaded it pretty bad, the trailer was about 2500 pounds when I moved to Memphis. Oops.) And sometimes I push it hard, like flooring it from a stop.
