Originally Posted by NO2 10% MPG drop is not due to the tires. You might see something like 1-2%. Did you replace with the same size? The tires were the only thing I changed, so what else caused the drop? Yes, the size was the same as the old set & factory spec - 205/55/R16.

TPMS shows slightly over-inflated ...

Ponied up for a set in hopes of having one tire for all two seasons: road construction & winter. I'm liking the dry & wet traction - it's all good. However; I've lost 10% of my usual MPG: down to 27 from 30 as reported by the DIC. I'm not happy about that. These better do well next winter to...

At 198K with a believed to be original t-stat; I'd skip the proper diagnostics, load the parts cannon with a new part & pull the trigger. Logic being it's a cheap part, presumably easy to replace, and should've been done already for peace of mind.

I've used gasket tack only to hold it in place while the bolts are fitted - this usually applies for vertical surfaces (rear diifs, waterpumps, etc.). If the mating surfaces are horizontal, I don't bother with extra stuff...
