Default Re: Gas Mileage

I should add that if you DO want to try and increase your mileage, you can try changing over to synthetic fluids (transmission and engine). If you don't notice any difference in your mileage, at least your drivetrain's internals will live longer. Lowering the car MAY help (lower to the ground, less air getting "stuck" underneath). The other upside to this is getting rid of the 4x4 wheel gap. A cold air kit may help with the breathing too but only if you keep your foot out of it. In the end, you need to decide if buying all this stuff is worth a couple miles to the gallon over what you're getting now.
