On those tire calculator sites, they say if I switched from a stock 245/50/16 size tire to a 245/45/17 size tire, my mph would be 0.1% off. So if the spedometer said 60mph, I'd actually be going 61mph. So that's probably where you would see your decress in economy, by just going a certain mph faster.

DO NOT GET WASHERS AND BOLTS FOR A REAR CAMBER KIT trust me it just causes problems, get the adjustable ones so it's not set at a certain spec. i used to have that, with 4 washers and it wasn't enough, so i put 5 and it was too much. also, if you want a front camber kit you should buy something like the Skunk 2 UCA, cause the other crap also ****s you over... believe me

wow 400 miles per gallon, considering our cars have 17 gallons, thats 6800 miles per tank. What's your secret?
