Sometimes with turbo cars you can lean them out. But i doubt you can do it with a NA car. The only thing you can do is maybe improve on any emmision parts that might not be up to par if you are getting bad mileage. _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: pilsenblue Even tho My car looks great It will never be fast.

You deliver pizzas or something man? LOL..just messin'!! Actually a Ford Focus would work pretty well for you too. They get awesome mileage like 35 mpg's plus. _____________________________ 1999 Eclipse GS-T..Some mods and a lot more to come..Pimpin'' Ain''t Easy, but it''s necessary.

My girlfriend bought a brand new 06 5 speed and neither of us driving have seen it over 31 and that was like once. in town she gets as bad as 28. Her sister has a 03 and it is the same story. they must figure 35mpg ignoring wind resistance, perfect temperature and driving downhill  (in reply to bestwiseguy) Post #: 10
