I would love to buy a G8 GT but I commute 60+ miles a day. Anyone have a good idea on highway miles with a steady foot.

purchased a 99 grand prix with 147k and drove it from north carolina to new york, 600 miles, allegedly with either a loose or broken flywheel and/or a loose torque converter. Could either one of these things destroy my tranny anytime soon and is it just a miracle that i was able to drive the 600 miles without killing myself?

I expect to be driving over 700 miles this coming long weekend.
Mostly highway.
I will post results next week.

Looking forward to a 'road trip'...

murph, gas is $1.80 per gallon.
if saving $ is your goal, maximizing mpg is probably not the best strategy currently.

Yes, either one of those could (and probably will) destroy your tranny if you don't get it fixed soon. A loose flywheel could probably destroy your engine, too, since it's connected directly to the crankshaft. The excess vibration/imbalance could potentially crack/snap the crankshaft.

4) 300 mile trips maximum MPG is 25.5 ~ 65MPH - 68MPH highway. The MPG does drop quite a bit in city driving but strictly highway is excellent.
