Looking for solutions for poor mpg

My exhaust/intake gave me at least 3-4 extra MPG. You can air up your tires a little, slow down a little, and add mods that increase engine efficiency such as intake/exhaust.

That was probably the only time I'll keep my foot out of it LOL. I just wanted to see what it would do. I was only expecting 42 and hoping for 45. Now I know I can probably up the speed quite a bit and still return over 40 mpg

McBrew, Nicely said! Looks like you made a pretty good decision with the Scion being rated best reliability by CR this year and having the highest resale value. They also came highly rated by JD power. What was the final cost after all your additions if you don't mind me asking? http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/22/auto...lity/index.htm http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/...ook/index.html

Kingcone, please see the the format requirements in the first post. You can put multiple tanks per post, but each tank must adhere to the format.

hey guys I downloaded this Iphone app a while ago, and man is it awesome. Everytime you fill up your tank, you just take out your iphone, punch in the details (Fuel Price, Distance Travelled Since last fill up, How many L/G per fill up) and it generates a charge and graphs showing you your MGP or L/100 (US or Imperial). It's a great little program, only downside is that it costs a buck, but...

Well, I never post in here because I don't get to concerned with economy for the most part. That being said, I took a mileage reading for a 323 mile trip yesterday and I got 52.91 mpg. This was 100% interstate between 65 and 74 mph for the most part. I was worried my PD150 swap would hurt my mileage but I think the 6 spd keeps the car in the sweet spot all the time. It's just amazing to me that a...

I just saw the fuel economy results for the 2009 VW Jetta TDI from the EPA. They are pretty disappointing. The manual 6 speed is rated 30/41 (34 mpg combined) and the duel-clutch (DSG) auto is 29/40 (33 mpg combined). These are the new "realistic" EPA mileage ratings instituted in 2008, so don't compare them with 2007 or earlier model year ratings. This is pretty disappointing, ...

In Raleigh, NC today (9.27.06) URG is 2.15 to 2.33 with the higher prices in the Cary area. D2 is running 2.53 to 2.79. Again, the highest prices are in and around Cary.

We are on our second new Beetle tdi. The first was a 2000 that got 45-47 mpg on the highway. We were happy with that. Earlier this year we sold that one and got a 2006 model. This one has been getting 38-41 on the highway. I am looking for reasons why this one is so low. I have been doing a lot of reading here and checking things on the car. One thing I am checking into now is the timing. From ...

I don't know where you are located but up in in Northwestern Oregon the price for diesel is $2.95 / gal and $2.05 per regular unleaded gasoline. A hybrid that gets 42 MPG average is going to be far more economical than a diesel that gets 50 MPG. Another point is diesel had just a high differential even in the summer months when years ago the price was lower for diesel but that no longer ...
