I did the same thing with a $300-1989 4dr Geo......it has already paid for itself in 5000 miles. Spent about $1200 total...Haven't driven my van since. 48 mpg average...51 mpg highway 60 mph...54 mpg highway 55 mph. Worst was 43.5 on a rough, hilly, fast trip with lots of town miles (70 mph on highway). By the way, just for kicks, this 190,000 mile car with the 3 cyl. and 5 speed tranny will do 87 mph!!! 3rd gear to 65 mph recommended for passing.
