    I have a 99, 379 with a 6nz, 13spd and 404s with 3.55 gears. I haven't done the math. I have enough depression in my life. I never felt a need to add to it....lol

    I'm curious. The extra hour of driving. Is it worth the extra money spent on fuel?

    As long as i stay above 6mpg im happy. I'd go nuts trying to get max mpg all the time. It's not like im running 3000+ miles every week to where that extra 1mpg will add up. Usually 1500mi a week

    Probably talking about the difference between driving 62 vs 70 and the additional fuel used to do 70.

    Is it worth an hour to save 10 dollars worth of fuel?

    Which would be roughly an extra 3k anually.

    Not preaching. Mostly just curious.
