Dead people in concert...there's a new marketing tool Seriously I don't know how these urban myths get started.

Sorry to get slightly off topic here but I loved Bobby McFerrin's creative style BEFORE he became "popular". Here's something about that "urban myth".

Keep Smile'n

now I feel stupid yet again lol. Thanks for settin me straight on that

So...what can I do to make it better? Other than the obvious and probably much needed set of plugs and wires. How much would a new cold air intake help?

there isn't really much you can do... 23.7mpg is a very respectable number.

I heard a FWI can increase 1-2 mpg

FWI? Sorry...I'm not versed in these acronyms.

Sorry, Fender Well (or wall I cant remember which) Intake is what I ment

i was getting the best i ever got on the way home from the MI Meet. i was getting 27-28 doing 72MPH but i was dying to do it cuz the windows were up and the air was off. just had the sun roof vent open.

i tried both windows down and air on. either way it dropped to 20-22. so i got a little warm on the way home

My mom's 00 SSEi when she drives it... 23.4 MPG Average
My mom's 00 SSEi when I drive it.. 24.2 MPG Average
My 2005 3.6 VVT CTS averages.... 25.0 MPG Average with regular gas.

A lot of it is just the way you drive. If you have bad driving habits then your MPG is gonna be lower than it should.

I'm a child of the first gas crunch. I think that's why I'm getting the numbers that I do. Still I'd like to wring every MPG out of her that I can, but not spend a ton of money doing it. Thee's not much of a return on your investment when you spend $300 to get another 1 MPG, unless you're Al Gore.

I'm getting 18.9 out of my 01 SSEi @100k, 50/50 city/highway... I don't really beat on her much either :( New wires (Beldens), plugs (AC Iridiums), MAF, Fuel filter, LIM, Pushrods, Lifters, Shocks, Struts, Mounts, Bearings, Brakes... all within the last 6 months.... Oh well...

Wow, i only get 19 out of my car when i beat the livind heck out of it.But then again, i live in the country and drive very little in town, so that has a lot to do with it as well.
