Default Re: Gas Mileage

I have a gearhead friend who also recommended a couple of ounces of Lucas Fuel Additive
in the tank w/every fillup.

My best investments towards better mileage so far have been:
A lighter foot (Free /no fun)
Keep tire air pressure at top of spec (Free)
Put 'er in neutral and coast up to red lights (Free)
Use cruise control (Free)
Take out rear seats if you don't use them (Free)

Stuff that made a significant difference in performance:
Crane Firewires & Bosch Platinum plugs ($70 +/-)
K&N Air Filter ($30 +/-)
new PCV valve ($4)

Don't know but did it anyway:
Mobil 1/K&N Oil Filter
Lucas Fuel Additive every fillup
Reset computer (disconnect neg battery cable for 5 - 10 min.)

I learned all this stuff here. Getting 24 mpg around town, 27 on hwy.
