Driving so far over the posted speed limit, that fuel economy sounds about right. I drive the 55 mph speed limit every time and get phenomenal fuel economy, saving me hundreds of dollars in fuel costs. No one runs over me either. Slow down to the posted speed limit, watch the fuel economy...

I have done some research on this issue and I have discovered that with the 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla's there is a problem with the 1.8 litre engines that causes high oil consumption. Toyota has addressed the issue with an updated piston design, but having the engine torn down to have new pistons...

As for power steering, mechanical devices are always more reliable than electric or electronic devices, such as mechanical power steering vs electric power steering. I don't at all feel comfortable trusting my very life to electric power steering. If and when it fails, not good.

As I have been trying to say for a long time in this forum, when a vehicle is switched from the stock 16" rims and 17" rims are installed instead, that's replacing an inch of rubber sidewall with an inch of inflexible metal and the ride quality suffers greatly. Impact damage to the rims from...

Yes, $51 with no shipping charges and an iron clad warranty where if there is a problem with the part you can quickly bring it back to your local store and have it replaced under warranty the same day, as opposed to waiting and waiting for a part to arrive via UPS while your car is out of...

If you pay money to have the freon recharged, it will leak out again, along with your money. Without having the system leak tested, there's no way to know how much money in freon will be thrown away because of a leak. An AC system that is leaking freon also allows the lubricating oil inside...

Consistently running the gas tank to almost empty will burn out the very expensive fuel pump. Electric fuel pump's are located inside the gas tank and need gasoline to help cool them. A typical fuel pump replacement job is $500 +. I recommend to get into the habit of refilling the gas tank at...

Premium gas only makes your wallet lighter and the big oil industry more profits. There is no need or benefit to using Premium gasoline if your car doesn't require it. Indeed, with Premium gasoline's lower btu content, it will reduce fuel economy compared to Regular gasoline.

I strongly recommend against doing anything at all with the suspension in altering it in any way, because if you do that you are providing them with the perfect excuse not to do a darned thing about the problem the car is having. They will simply state, "You altered the suspension and there is...
