Re: bad gas milage... (Egezzy)
i havent really noticed until after a month... i was used to pumping that much, my other car was a v6 and when i got the sol i slapped a turbo on it. until i realized why i got the current motor to be a little more fuel efficient.
not too sure where the source of the chip was from
do you recomend just getting a p30 and run that?
