how about a vespa then

ive yet to get over 200 to a tank. Im normally at 170-180 and thats with minimal mods I just like to drive fast.

 

air up tires and keep air filter clean. Don't drag race off the line either. Less throttle means less gas used.

 

do what I did, buy a honda hatch and put a k20 in there. should get around 35-40mpg.

 

the thing that saves the most gas is getting a tune... this car can see well over 24 miles to the gallon if you get a good tune, even with cams... aparently ted b has done it... search for his thread on improved gas mileage.

 

I heard this is a fact...

but makes sense, in city, the wing is more of a drag than help with downforce.

 

The best thing to do is leave it home and walk...

 

even if it did help with downforce at low speeds, which it does it will create more grip on the ground which you in turn have to overcome with hp so yes removing hte wing will get you gas mileage.

 

I have heard that it will make about 20-25 miles difference per tank.

 

i would wave the flag at that all day long.

the spoiler, ( cars don't have wings, airplanes have wings.), just wouldn't get much air... it's not that it's blocking anything, it's already behind the bulk of the car, thats breaking the air.

just stay outta the boost, it's not science.

 

What about some of the claims made by ECU tuners that their "chipped" ECU's or piggybacks will actually improve mileage around town? Anyone actually experience this or was it just too tempting to mash the right pedal?

 

Buy a motorcycle.

 

"Dont boost"....pfft.....buy a civic instead. Better mileage and more fun.
For those that want a fun car and dont really give a crap about mileage......EVO BABY

 

just because it's a 7 mile trip to work, doesn't mean you have to boost ALL 7 MILES...

 

You dont HAVE to.....but you CAN, and its a lot more fun if you do
