Guys, this is a GREAT forum. Now you guys have me wanting to do all sorts if stuff so I can juice as many miles out of my car. I already try to do a few things like pick up speed DOWN a hill in hopes that I'll use next to no gas to get to the top of a hill and kicking my AUTOMATIC tranny into neutral when Im approaching a light, but I never thought that there'd be a group of folks dedicated to this kinda stuff. This is GREAT.
Anyway, I have a few questions for you EXPERTS out there. Does anyone know how much super vs regular gas helps. And if so it is enough to justify the extra 8% surcharge (based on about $3.25/3.50 for reg/prem) for premium. I currently user super but have been thinking about changing to regular. I put CRAZY miles on this car and need it to last so I put in super and havent really tested the difference between super/regular yet.
Also, have any of you heard of K&N air filters. Its a more pricey reusable filter that should pay for itself in three air filter changes (about $15-20 for a disposable vs $50 for a reusable K&N). I figure that Id prob clean every 5000 miles vs changing every 15,000 miles so it would on average always be cleaner than a disposable filter as well, cause it would be the equivalent to changing every 5000 miles.
Any SIMPLE ideas would be appreciated. Im going to try adding extra air to tires and removing weight from car to see how much help i can get. Right now Im close to 29 mpg for an estimated 25/75 city/highway split.
Thanks guys. This site is great
