kristian88 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 FWIW, I was noticing mileage declining and wondered about it. In city driving I owuld be lucky to get 16ish mpg Recently had front wheel bearing changed and alignment done, and I'm now getting around 20mpg in the city. I only noticed a very small hum in some corners, but the tech that noticed the bad bearing said he could wiggle the wheel quite a bit. Guessing my car is outside resetting itself to get 10mpg now that I brought it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covertrussian Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Might just have to replace the two other wheel bearing that I haven't touched yet just for good measures...

BoozeRS05 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, I'm seeing 18-19mpg mostly city, and I have a real noisy rear bearing.. Not sure I buy the difference, but we'll see.

adj789 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Update: Finally got my car back, they took the heads off and had everything checked out, the valves were bad, oil was getting into my engine and mixing with the gas causing the misfire. They resurfaced the heads, replaced the valves, head gaskets etc. My block was fine thankfully and now she's running like a champ, gonna go easy on er for about 700 miles for the break in. Thanks everyone for the advice! I plan on doing a turbo inlet and rear sway bar next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covertrussian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Good to hear, would hate to see the tab for that work though. 05 LGT 16G 14psi 290whp/30mpg (SOLD) 12 OBP Stock 130whp/27mpg@87 Oct 00 G20t GT28r 10psi 250whp/36mpg 22 Ascent STOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adj789 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 ~3800 the heads were sent off to someone else, he told me he was the best in Atlanta and it was worth the wait. He also gave me everything at cost because I've been going there for so long so that was nice. I'm actually working 2 jobs now (partly) to pay it off Edit: I hate driving like this, I'm itching to give it the beans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
