I would like to know on what some of you have done to improve your gas milage. I have an B16a with i/h/e, spoon ecu and lately I've been getting 250 on a full tank, sometimes as low as 225 . I just did an oil change (every 2000-2500 miles) and used an STP cleaner, but i did not notice and improvement.

I will be looking forward to change out the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I currently have bosh platinum 4's, stock wires and I believe stock cap and rotor still (did the swap in june). But can someone please help me on the spark plugs and wires to get? I would like to get some NGK's but im not sure which ones to go with. I do a lot of rush hour traffic thru downtown L.A.

Thanks everyone.

 

its the spoon ecu.
run a stock b16 ecu and it will go up to about 25-30mpg.

 

Stay out of VTEC and make sure that you have the correct amount of air pressure in your tires.

 

Would using a VAFC to lean out help me a bit? I've been thinking of using an
Apexi vafc.

 

strip out the rear and use higher octane

 

get the lead taken out of your right foot

increase tire air pressure

 

easiest way: don't drive, your tank will last for WEEKS....heh

 

what are some of the things that can be changed to inprove gas milage? i have 92,000 miles on my car now

Tough to answer without knowing anything about what you've done with your car.

Most maintenance items will affect mpg, some more quickly & severely than others. Air filter, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, 02 sensor(s), valve adjustment, tire pressures . . . .

Actual modifications that will improve fuel mileage would be any improvement in exhaust flow, weight reduction, narrower/harder tires, more rotational inertia (wheels/tires/flywheel/brakes/etc.) if you're all highway, less if it's transient stop & go driving. A programmable ECU can be used to either help fuel mileage or hurt it. Higher octane fuel can either hurt or help your fuel mileage, it depends on the car & ECU. A synthetic or lighter weight motor & tranny oil can sometimes help marginally. Port-matching will help, more comprehensive headwork can sometimes help, but just as easily hurt.
