Assuming we're talking about the Avalon and not the VW, get a Scangauge/Ultragauge/Torque app or whatever so you can watch the coolant temp, and block the crap out of your grille! :thumbup:

In that position, I would convert the Ranger into dollars, and then convert the dollars into a small, efficient, but comfortable car for long drives. Do I lack imagination? Maybe.

I feel like this stuff should be posted in Unicorn Corral first, and then "freed" if it turns out to be legit. Guilty until proven innocent. ;)

It's always amusing to me how performance guys see this as an "oil cooler" and we EcoModders see it as an "oil warmer." :)

Ah, gotcha. I've come back from some highway trips at 30 +/-1 MPG, and felt pretty good about that. One thing the automatics usually have over the manuals is a taller final drive, so you're...
