Replying to: hammill (Mar 24, 2009 10:22 am) I am not sure what to make of that but believe it or not, studies have shown in a comparison test that a AC/Delco paper filter actually provides more air flow and filter protection than a K&N filter. Sand/dirt particules get through K&N's easier than other filters. Replies to this message: ron1970 (Mar 27, 2009 5:09 pm)

Replying to: poncho167 (Mar 27, 2009 6:55 am) No one stocks stock air filters where I live. My K&N added 1.2 miles per gallon average over a 12 month period. I have seen no issues with pass through material.   Ron

#5 of 5 Help w/Aveo seats? by Ltpines Aug 01, 2009 (6:57 pm)
1) I drive a 2008 Aveo5 hatch but am experiencing severe muscle aches due to constant tension - trying to stay seated. The seats are flat (even though they were advertised as 'bucket-seats') and provide little to no side support.   The OEM seat covers are relatively slippery and this is really a problem as I go around curves/turns. And NO - I don't drive all that fast. I slip even when driving on an incline. (Is the fabric coated with Teflon?)   (These are definitely NOT genuine 'bucket-seats')   Can anyone suggest a seat-cover which will provide some measure of grip? Mind you - these seats have side-airbags.   2) I also have a problem with my spine (fractured 5th lumbar as victim of previous rear-end crash while waiting at STOP sign) so the seat being so close to the floor is causing pain. I DO use the 'lumbar support' lever but it provides only minimal help. Therefore I need to raise the seat so my hips are level with or higher than my knees. This was never a problem with the REAL pick-up trucks I drove (1970s - 1980s bench seat trucks) unlike today's with the low-slung 'bucket seats'.   I bought this 'Coors can on wheels' (silver finish) due to the advertised 40mpg (actually around 35mpg). Then just before I took it back for its first 'free maintenance check' - GM took all the Chevy cars and closed the dealership down.   Thanks in advance; Lt
