    Which Optima Battery?

    Kurt, Thanks for the tip. I've got it on the charger now. Wish I didn't have to wait 36hrs to see if its dead or not but hey, its worth a shot. So if the Optima batteries are out, what is the next best option? I'd like to take the car for a drive for the first time in 3-4years. Thanks, Freddie

    Best cruise speed for mpg?

    On a 600+ mile trip I figured out that I averaged 23-25mpg. Thats with highway driving, highway traffic driving and driving through cities like NY. At 100mph in 6th gear with my 3.73s the engine spins at around 1800rpms. Getting better mpg's were not my priority. I cruised at around 75mph and...
