I regularly get 27 mpg with my V8 during the summer. One time I hit 29.2 mpg with 100% highway driving and a tailwind on a 210 mile trip. Usually in the winter it will drop to 24-25 mpg highway thanks to the winter blend. I mostly use 91 octane gas. I have noticed that when I use 89 octane...

1990 Chevy Lumina Euro - hand-me-down from my parents at age 16, drove it throughout most of high school until it was sideswiped by a semi trailer while parked across from my house...we did a little investigative work and managed to track the driver down 1994 Chevy Lumina Euro - I needed a...

I've had those on my car since October...they've been a great set of wheels so far.

Recent pic of my '01 V8 with 109,000 miles

I had more time to investigate and get additional video today. I also bought a jack stand set so I could do some prodding underneath; I'm not very mechanically inclined but I am learning as I go. The brake pads are getting thin in the front and the rotors are starting to groove a little, so...

Just found this video...sounds similar to my car except louder. Any ideas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV3RD2k3XlY&feature=youtu.be

You can hear it in seconds 27 & 28 and again at seconds 41 & 42...unfortunately it's faint in the video, but it's more noticeable in person especially with the windows down. I'll reshoot either tomorrow or this weekend with the windows up and repost. The best way I can describe it is an...

My LS has been pretty good to me the last couple years, but lately I have noticed a metallic clunking/creaking noise from the front end while under moderate to hard braking. The noise only occurs when the vehicle gets below 5-10 mph. I don't hear it while driving at speeds greater than that or...

Approaching its tenth Midwestern winter...spent the weekend washing, claying, and waxing my baby before the snow flies.

1990 Chevy Lumina Euro 3.1 - hand me down from my parents that was sideswiped by a semi while parallel parked. I replaced the driver's doors and did some bondo work, then hobbled around with it for a couple years until I went off to college. It had 220,000 miles and was getting up there in...

It just rolled over 96K. I'm the second owner. The previous guy took very good care of it and I have been trying to do the same. I clay it twice a year and it's parked in a garage 95% of the time (work and home), so it sees very little of our Iowa weather.

Best I ever had was cruising about 70 mph on the interstate with light traffic...29.1 mpg over a 3 1/2 hour drive in my stock LS V8. Usually get 26-28 on the highway, and 17-18 in the city. In the winter, 24-25 highway and 15-16 city is more the norm.

That, and tint, are on my list of things to do this summer. What's the best way to remove vinyl decals without damaging the paint?

My stock '01 LS V8

I had my front driver's side steering knuckle replaced a couple weeks ago for $650 with labor at the LM dealership. The knuckle unit cost $518. The steering vibration is still there, however.

'01 LS V8 with the same vibration issue. I don't notice it until speeds above 70 mph, especially approaching 80. The vibration is not consistent and the road surface doesn't matter. It seems like it will vibrate for a few minutes and then go away for a while, then the vibration returns...

Hi all, I'm new here. I bought a 2001 LS V8 earlier this summer...a one-owner with 80,000 miles, gently driven, and well-maintained. It's been great so far, but I have noticed ever since I've had it (and more often lately) that the transmission has a slight delay when shifting into reverse or...
