The thing is that the existing engine and transmission should wear out over time. Not to mention that I am an environmentalist. I expect the cost of gasoline to skyrocket in the future due to the Democrats' policies (which are still in effect even though it has been 61 years since FDR died) so pramatically speaking, improving the fuel economy through a new engine and transmission, should save me quite a bit of money, especially if people figure out the actual extent to which the federal government unconstitutionally counterfits money each year.

By the way, I am home from my vacation and my Avalon's fuel economy was 31.6 mpg, which is 3.6 mpg higher than what it is supposed to be; I am guessing that additional fuel economy is mostly from the Iridium spark plugs, as a tune-up should have only returned it to 28 mpg like it was measured it as being.

Edit: So how much would it cost to buy those two parts?

Second Edit: My parents just told me that the transmission fluid was already changed. Apparently 2-3 years ago, the transmission light on the dashboard lit, so they took it to the dealer and the dealer said that the oil had to be changed, so they did it. I guess that this would mean that the transmission fluid does not need to be changed after all.
