I might use my 16" 5spokes for testing with a bunch of different brands to see which ones are the best

Any update Joel?

[JoeliusZ28]

havent had time. Im in the process of trying to find a new daily driver right now, and thats taking up all my spare time. Hopefully towards the end of summer i will get to this. Theyre not going anywhere, just on hold

Ahh, just checking. Ever thought of getting a v6 camaro or bird for a DD? The get pretty good mileage IMHO. If not maybe look at a w-body. I like mine, I have the camaro for, well me. But I use my monte for everything else. Its great havening FWD in the winter (not that the camaro ever sees winter, just saying), the back seat is actually usable, a huge trunk, you can put a hitch on them, there still a moderately sporty car, the list goes on, w bodys are nice DD's.

yea the only other thing i am really considering right now is a cobalt but one of those with cruise and a 5 speed seem just as hard to find.

V6 camaros get good mpg? Maybe the 3.8s.... my v6 gets 16-17mpg when I'm lucky, I don't really consider that great.

WOW, really B??? Our '96 with the 3.8 auto got 33mpg on the hiway and about 24 around town.

Just put the accelerator all the way to the floor when the light turns green. I can't help it that I have to floor it to keep up with traffic with the puny 3.4L...

But yeah, I do want to try that SeaFoam.
