I've been getting 26-28 mpg but that's mostly highway.
BTW: Does anyone know how hard it is to change the clutch?
The service manual isn't all that detailed, I couldn't find a How-to either.
I've been feeling it slip under hard acceleration.

Washed the filthy beast..........not that, the car.
so i replaced teh spark plugs last tuesday, and the car was running great. no weird start up issues (where the rpms rise and fall) and i wasnt ahving any misfires. today i started my car up after work and my idle was rising and falling again, and it missfired at idle as well...
so far ive replaced plugs, the passanger side coil pack, and C1 wire. im tired of spending money. ive cleaned the IAC and teh EGR valve as well.

So far we are both ok, my back is starting to stiffen up though. The car is not in so good of shape, I'm pretty sure that it will be totaled. So far i need a new hood, new bumper, new radiator, new headlights, new core support, and new grill. My bumper support thing is pretty messed up too.
600mg Ibuprofen and light stretching should do for the back. As for the car, RIP. Sorrt for your loss.
pulled out the amp and HU with the help of our neighbor last in in preparation for trading in my car today or tomorrow - i'll miss her when she's gone, but it's time to move on. didn't give me quite what i was hoping for in trade, but it's the best offer i've had.

Did you get checked out by an EMT at the scene? If not might be worth a trip to the hospital. Can't see any of the pics but it does sound bad...if it is totalled - part out (light at the end of the tunnel?)
My Osram silverstars arrived this morning. I swapped out the burnt silverstar in the PS and will do the DS later this week when my new, used intake shows up!
Froless you did the exact same thing I did back in June - damage looks to be about the same as well except my radiator and bumper support were still fine - just pushed back. Damage total on mine was nearly $4k - no where near being totalled but still not fun. Hope everything works out for you.
