1. slow the **** down!
2. dont remove the cat! back press helps with fuel economy a bit!
3 . take the big wheels off. i have 13 inch vx wheels with 165 series tires the weight around 10 lbs with tires!
4 . dont floor it drive like there is a egg under the gas pedal. goes with number one its better to down shift then to floor it.
5. increase tire psi i run 50psi in all 4 make the ride a little bumpy but helps big time with fuel economy and coasting down hills!
6. keep it well maintained lighter weight oil helps a bit. i would not put cold air intake one it. if anything you want the opposite a hot air intake i have the inlet on my stock intake turned aroud toward the radiator. this will hurt power but will help with mpg
7. high temp termastat
8.grill block but cut a few small hole for the radiator but rember the hoter you car run the car safely will help your mpg .
9. dont run the a/c
is this all serious??
