Default Re: mods for mpg's

Fair enough. With gas prices above $4 now, anyone coming on here looking to mod their car for MPGs is barking up the wrong tree. I've even had a friend try just driving the speed limit and sticking with low accelerations. He was surprised how much a difference just doing that can make. I think people are looking for a quick fix. And hate me for saying it, but cars come from the factory are pretty well configured for fuel efficiency with a factory set up IF you drive slow and don't accelerate hard. That's why the government adjusted all the fuel economy ratings a few years ago - they were based on 55 MPH speeds and slow accelerations.
