How can I get more MPG out of my civic? INTAKE?

 

u dont have to get an intake, just make sure your air filter is clean, oil "changed", fuel filer "changed", all tires inflated to proper level, take absolutely EVERYTHING that u dont need out of the car [i keept the spare tire and car jack], the lighter the better.

p.s. u can also use injection cleaners and stuff like that [ i use lucas products] they really do work.

 

Lose weight. /thread

 

change the o2 sensor

good tune up with proper gapped plugs

adjust your valves

put smaller wheels/tires on your car like the old school 13's that came on some CX/DX's back in the day

if you spend alot of time on the highway swap out your tranny for a longer gear 5th tranny if possible

try to avoid gas stations with ethanol in their fuel

change your driving habits to use the gas pedal/brake as little as possible and especially shifting at lower rpms and keeping your foot steady on the gas or using cruise controll

 

Thanks a lot guys.

 

return of all the MPG threads!!

but remember to keep up with maintenance, like change oil every 3k-5k miles, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, dont carry so much weight, and dont go on ''spirited'' drives
