So shouldn't the mileage get better since I went down in tire size? Does 1" really make any difference?


Doh! Ol' dyslexic Joe here. Actually if you were properly adjusting for mileage in the past, your mileage should increase slightly w/ the smaller tire due to less rolling resistance, etc.

So you're doing the timing belt? That along with a full tune-up should help.

Your leaking radiator and steering box shouldn't affect mpg - but as Greg said they do need attention.

Other things that might affect mpg are alignment, sticky brakes, bearings. But see what the timing/tune-up does, and the O2 sensor.......
