Yes, you will get 20 mpg. Especially if you put 35" tires on it with 3.55 gears.

I think that almost covers 99% of the questions we get on the board.

Well sometimes these things need to be re-asked as upgrades do come about, and people don't usually post on old threads. Tranny questions are common, but the fixes should be updated considering the things we all go through, and every experience being different. The plug/wire combo is common because everyone uses something different, and until someone figures out that optimum combo and the spark plug companies decide not to make anymore versions, it will be asked and for good reason. I do think the FIPK thing needs to be laid to rest, but hey what can ya do. And oil, well, that's a tough call. People have different problems, and sometimes the former threads with similiar questions were never laid to rest with a dignified answer. Sometimes I agree with the Search question, sometimes I don't. I just think, the people who answer "USE THE SEARCH" would be better to find the specific thread their talking about, and posting a link to that specific thread. I searched when I was new and couldn't find anything useful that was somewhat recent; therefore I know several people have the same issue. But when people posted specific links, it was great. The Balljoint DIY, the Heater Core DIY by davmelrach, etc.
