easy on the gas, easy on the brake, and your mpg's surely will be great!

Try a "cold air intake" form ebay, the ones without the heat sheild. Technically it's a warm air intake. warm air has less 02, therefore less fuel required for stoichiometric ratio :)

Here is what I did: I changed the fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, updated to a K&N air filter and ran some Marvel mystery oil through the engine and tank (which I do once and a while) and I am getting exactly 15-20 mpg consistantly now. When I bought it at 96K I was only getting like 12-16mpg. Also, I only use shell gas.

I avarage 18-20 mpg with a cold air intake and a flowmaster 40 series muffler. little more free flowing.
