[DML] Re: Gas Milage Question.

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

3354 is an auto. Complete tune up before PF. On the trip to PF I 
averaged 26+ - not quite 27 at mostly 65-75 MPH. On my recent 
weekend drives I average 19-20 which are all nice under 50 mph 
drives through the countryside. I have replaced both front-wheel 
bearings twice in 50,000 miles - 3 times on the passenger side. 
Water in the bearings was the problem - from washing the wheels. If 
water gets behind the plastic caps, especially on the passenger side 
and you don't drive out the water, it seems to get into the 
bearings. Really noisy. Rears seem fine so far.
