Re: saving gas? (ek4ferrio)

Alot of air parts (intake, intake manifold, good filter) can get you better gas mileage. Also if you get a chipped ecu and tune it for highway driving @ 14.7a/f with a good tranny you could get really good mileage.

PM Bensen, or Benson i believe his doing a big gas saver swap thing.

Get a VX or a d15z1 swap. I average 40 mpg mix highway and city driving. Sometimes with A/C on, sometimes window down. At 70 mph, I'm at 2500 rpm. I also shift when my shift indicator comes on. (somewhere around 2300 rpm) But slow as hell acceleration is no fun.
