if you want to lower your fuel consumption:
1. it's about drive style 2. you car must be lighter (no needless things in a trunk, etc.) 3. leaner tires... (I don know right English word for this however we call it "rolling resistance" between street and tire). 4. clean injectors... 5. better sparks + distributor (or lets say in perfect condition... not old, dirty, burned... etc.) it works works any car... -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
