Default Clutch and MPG

Does a crappy clutch get crappier MPG? I'm thinking this because theres power loss due to slippage

Because im getting like 330 ish for 14 gallons... is this normal?

You have two more cylinders, though.




For the key fob I would say: buy and uncut, unprogrammed one off eBay for ~$60, have itcut, and, I'm not positive on this, but I think you can program it yourself. I may be wrong about that, so don't quote me on it, but even if the stealership has to program it, it'll still probably be cheaper than $345.

Yeah, that was it. I knew there was a way, but I couldn't remember exactly how.

My range is saying 120 miles with 1/4 tank left...and the majority of the driving I did today was city.
