I was just checking the history on some gas mileage posts, as my car is not getting TERRIBLE mileage, but worse then I would like for a daily driver. I have a 2001 5-speed, I bought it with 43k miles on it in early December. It now has 45k miles, and I am getting about 25.5 mpg. Like I said its not terrible, but for being 85% or greater highway mileage, I would like better. I heard there may be a computer problem with the 2001s that need to be flashed? How would I check if my car has had this done, since I obviously wasnt the owner when this would have been a recall.

The car is stock, and I dont drive it hard, as it is my daily driver. I save the agressive driving for the summer car, which gets 30 mpg, but still puts out another 100hp then the cruiser. Doesnt make sence to me. My guess is my problem could be plugs and wires? Maybe a K&N should be installed? Anyone have any advice for a good intake, that has helped their mileage? or exhaust?

Thanks,
Matt
