How is changing the clutch going to keep your RPMs lower? If you're clutch is so bad that it is slipping at highway speeds, then you have major problems.

I'm not really sure what you meant, but heavily worn tires will make the odometer read MORE miles than were actually travelled.

True.. actual vs. calculated will be different. But we have no way of measuring actual (unless we have a GPS or something that keeps track), so we have to just assume that the odo is accurate.

But, I understand what you are saying about the shorter tires making it appear that we went further on a tank of gas than we actually did.

Go for the air filter - cheap, quick install, better idle and mileage.
