1. Saw an ad of a GT dressed up in 19" Falken Koblenz wheels, looked nice. Exact sizes for the tires (Falken FK-451) were 245/35ZR19 and 275/30ZR19. Don't know much about wheels and tires but would this setup be interchangeable between a GT and a V6?

2. What is the average mpg for a mani transmission V6? My car acts like a V8 and guzzles gas like crazy. I've noticed the fuel dial reads about an extra 1/4 tank past the 'F' line, is this normal or does this give the illusion the car is wasting gas? This is the only car I drive on a regular basis, but I've driven an Armada (V8) and the dial drops at the same rate from point A to point B as my V6 does.

3. How many amps would the fuse for the cigaretter lighter/car charger/etc. outlet be? I don't have the owner's manual so if I could get that and the appropiate number on the fuse box I would appreciate it.

I'm getting about 20-22 mpg in my manual V-6, and that's mixed highway and traffic. However, I have to be honest with you. I do not drive with fuel efficiency in mind, though I know I should. When I'm a little easier on the car I get as much as ~24 mpg, but I'm have too much fun with it, so I guess I have to pay for that with the reduced mileage, lol.
