Crappy Gas Milage?!
The bottle says you can use your PCV valve also, I've always used the brake booster line, but I tried the PCV valve just recently. I like using that hose a lot more, gets your intake and more of the engine. I remember reading that using the brake booster gets part of the engine while the PCV gets most of it. If I'm wrong then someone correct me. But I'm pretty sure I'm right.
Also it seems to get the job done more using the PCV, at least it did for me

i said I'VE never done it but it doesnt mean it hasnt been done. usually it gets done by whatever shop is working on my car at the moment. maybe i'll get a set of SS brake lines and throw that on there next time if i do the brake fluid
I don't mean to highjack this tread but I ran a test on how my driving will affect mpg.
Driving like an a$$ - 20.5-21mpg
Driving normal - 23-24 mpg
Driving like a grandma, never took it over 3k rpm, a lot of costing - 27.5mpg
The mods I have in my car ar SRI, RRM udp, Flowmaster exhaust, headers, no cat.

I guess the mods killed my gas mileage. I don't think I've ever gotten better than 24 mpg and city driving it usually right around the 17-20 mpg mark .
Out of the tips I put above, the main one I stuck with helped increase my mpg. I drove about 5 mph less that the speed limit - staying to the right every time I was on the highway.

I just cleaned out my tb. I was gettin like 22 overall and had a rough idle. I will figure out what im doin after the cleaning and let yall know. I just used tb cleaner and a toothbrush on the tb. Pretty simple. Runs alot smoother now too.
