Re: Gas mileage

How bad is your mileage? What transmission do you have, and do you have any mods?

If you're mileage is below normal for your driving habits, you might want to first take a look at tune up items like new plugs, new wires, fuel filter, air filter, etc.

Modifications like cold air intakes, headers, free flowing exhaust would in theory give you better fuel mileage, but usually what ends up happening after mods is the right foot gets a little heavy and you end up gaining absolutely nothing!
