NyCrazy,
You only replaced the strut mounts? You still have the OEM struts?
By the way, try reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery. I think it will help improve your MPG. (doesnt hurt to try).

Yeah I just did the strut mounts/sway bar kit. My mechanic said the struts were perfect condition, not leaking or anything.

alignment
177,348 miles.
1999 RX300
Things I've gotten done
- 4 new tires
- allignment
- new brakes/pads both in the front
- power steering flush
- brake fluid flush
- transmission/front diff fluid
- rear diff
- gear box fluid
- semi synthetic oil
- cleaned MAF
Still getting 14.5 mpg! With gas prices going up, i need to find out what i can do to conserve and save as much as possible.
I'm getting my sway bar link/strut mounts both in the front replaced tomorrow because of a rattling noise but I don't think that'll make a difference.
I don't have a check engine light or anything.
Full tank (until the light goes on) gets me 180-210 miles.
What can I do?
Grade 93 gas here in VA ... I pay $4.19!!
