And my MPG went up by 3. The last time i pumped, i got 28 MPG now i get 31 MPG. I changed my Spark Plugs, Air Filter, and Oil Change so i guess each one net me an extra 1 MPG. Pretty cool huh. I figured i was gonna get only a 1 MPG increase and was stunned when i got 3 instead.

 

those things you just did would definitely give you a nice MPG increase

 

While you're tuning things up, have you checked the spark timing with a light? That can really affect your gas mileage. That is if your 2001 still has a distributor with adjustable timing.

 

Set the PSI in all four tires to 32PSI

 

Its all in the way you drive. Drive slower and you will see a huge jump in mpg......its just not as fun lol

 

**** i dunnop about you guys but in my car with my mid built b16 with i/h/e and i get **** MPG **** OUT THE MOTHA HOOKIN WINDOW!!! lol, could be i roll with the windows down alot, i was watching this thing on topgear says if you roll with your windows down all the time your mpg goes down by 30%? and if you use your radio electronics in you car it reduces your mpg by 2%? lolol but yeah i shift when getting on the freeway 2-4 thosand rpms and i hit 5th gear and im still at 3.500 rpms. =-( yes i change oil ever 1000 miles and spark plugs every 2000

 

unless I'm trying to pass someone I'm Always shifting at 3k rpms and in 5th I'm at 3k also on the highway.. There really is no need to go more then that. Yes a window open is bad for mpg since it ruins the aerodynamics of the car. If people actually did the speed limit and stopped with the jack rabbit starts aka going from a full stop to flooring it to get to your desired speed you'd save alot in fuel.

 

i agree whole heartedly -_- i wish my car had a/c everyone down here in LA drives like 90+ rofl unless its traffic hours. at least its what it looks like when im cruiseing at 70 and i hear somone zip by me and i see them dissappear on the horrizon

 

whats your mpg?
