im looking for ways to improve gas mileage and perhaps performance but dont really want to go all crazy with turbos and the like. Do cold air intakes improve gas mileage, how bout catback exhaust systems, theoretically since air through your car flows smoother in one way and out the other, the gas mileage should improve right? i think these would be the mods i would get

97GTinKC, I totally agree. After I installed my CAI, I drove my GT very hard for a few tanks, and didn't notice any gas millange improvement (19.5mpg avg). However, when I started to drive easy, I noticed my gas milage jump up to 23mpg.
I hear that engine treatments like Zmax and the use to synthetic oil will also increase performance and power. I'll let you know tomorrow. |
