Replaced parking brake shoes, rear brake pads, rotors, and right caliper (rebuilt) , and flushed the brake fluid last week. all parts were from Tasca and total cost is a little above $300. braking performance seems better now.

The parking brake needs more proper adjustment. When the parking brake is engaged, the car can still be driven backwards; but it can not move forward. How should I adjust it in this situation? Thanks.

Just had a 1300 miles round trip this past weekend (NY to Ann Arbor). Speed was mostly between 75-80 miles per hour. I got a gas mieage just above 20 miles per gallon (I got a similar one from my last trip--winter, 2010). Was this low gas mileage due to mountain driving? I usually gets about 23-24 from my daily commute.

Thanks,
