Really i dont think theres much you can do. All the products like "the tornado" and other suff dont work.
I usually mut my car in neutral when going down hill. And instead of gassing it off the line launch slowly.

try getting cold air exhaust get wires and get a tune up. if you dont want to go cold air just get a k&n filter. keep the oil changed Most oil can go from 5-10 thousand miles but recomened is 3000. Do you have woofers in the car if so take them out "may not make a whole lot of differance" put some fuel injectior cleaner in the car. make sure your tires are at the proper psi and are balanced and so on.

check ur intake, u mite have 2 clean it out cuz my friend john has a truck n it took a lot of gas n wen he checked his intake he found rocks in it...idk how lol....but after he cleaned it out it was fine. Also check ur oil, if it looks like it needs 2 be changed change it cuz u really dont want your car to work harder wit more friction...takes more gas n can tear up the engine!

anyway...do you have a debadged GT or an RS/GS (4 cylinder)..?

my 6g72 gets 24ish around town, and up around 28 all highway driving..its an automatic, with a trunk full of speakers. i have catback exhaust, CAI, solid motor mounts, and 180 degree thermostat..
i agree with much of what has been said here,...the tornado is a joke...keep the car properly tuned...keep the oil changed, i only run synthetic...

get435 -> RE: Eats allot of gas (8/31/2005 12:00:26 PM)

it might be a bad idea to chang to synthetic if the car never ran it it can cause oil leakes and chaging what kida oil the car takes can help or hurt the motor depending on how it was treated in the past most machanics say if it has over 60,000 on it and never ran synthetic dont use it it may cause problems.

Patrick -> RE: Eats allot of gas (8/31/2005 1:22:24 PM)

what kind of problems??

if you have an oil leak, synthetic is thinner, so it may leak more...it never 'causes" a leak..

What do you consider eating gas? 20 miles to a gallon? 15? 25?
