Saturn MPG update
So I joined this forum a few weeks back. At the time The best mpg I was able to obtain out of my 97 SL2 dual over-head cam was around 32 mpg highway and 28-29 combined. So i found this forum and scoured through the threads for 3 or 4 nights trying to take in everything I could on inexpensive ways to up my fuel economy.
And now I am proud to say, just by adding in some simple (free) methods I learned just from this forum, I am now getting a combined (city/hwy) 36 mpg. I was simply amazed! I have done three calculations since: 35.5, 35.9 and this last time 36.3.
And all i really did was up my tire pressure some more, reduce my cruising speed to a max of 60 mph when possible, applying P&G when it is appropriate (not much though), shutting down the engine and coasting into spots and my driveway, and timing lights to avoid complete stops when possible.
Now I'm hoping to get close to 40's or even break that barrier when I add my HAI and grill block. Thanks to this forum for this incredible savings!
