Because of gearing, the in town MPG will be pretty bad. Expect around 14-18 city and 27-30 on the open road doing the speed limit.

A tune up never hurts either and always run 91+ octane with that motor.


For the rear suspension, likely it's the struts/mounts and the trailing arms are super weak because factory they are just stamped steel. Solid trailing arms help stiff the rear end up.
