I've been using the midgrade since the day I bought the car. Still drives good as new, granted I only have 28K miles on it (although over 6 years).

I would say that asking on this site is akin to "asking friends". Yes, I suspected that it was a rip-off, that's why I didn't pull the trigger and asked for documentation. But I'm no mechanic. I...

The repair is for the piece that is causing the un-even tire wear and the left-sided pull- I'm definitely getting that fixed. I will get the tires replaced... but it is not urgent.

I get 30MPG on the freeway- but only freeway. In the city it's more like 16MPG... I average about 15-16 MPH in the city... so that probably explains the difference.
