Also don't forget that this number will change depending on many factors, everything from tire pressure, fuel filter, air filter, wheel alignment and so on.

Its not to hard, as long as you have done work on cars before you should be fine. Just follow the haynes manual and it tell you everything to do.

Re: Just a random Question???

Fuel mileage depends more on how you drive it than anything. Watch the episode of top gear where they race an M3 vs prius and see who get better gas mileage. search Top gear M3 vs prius. I remember I got 13mpg in my eclipse the first week i got it, now i get about 20 around town.

Re: Just a random Question???

Most people will recommend doing everything while in there...
-Timing Belt
-Both tensionors
-Hydrolic tensionor
-Oil Pump
-Water Pump


Personally I would pull the head and replace the headgasket depending on the amount of miles
