The tricks up my sleeve... Methods I may implement for better FE.

[Gary Palmer]

Welcome to GasSavers!

I am normally driving an 89 Honda Wagon, although I am temporarily driving an 87 hatchback. In any case, for economy and functionality, I have been very pleased. I'd leave the A/C in and use it in Florida. If you don't turn the A/C on, it pulls virtually nothing for power, but it's still available when it gets hot and muggy.

I've considered the type of modifications you are considering. However, I still have a D15/Z1 and an HF transmission modification, which I know should be able to get me up to the high 40's or low 50's, while running something which is currently available.

I had heard of a person who put about a 5 psi boost on a Geo, and they were able to get quite a bit better mileage, without unduly stressing the engine.

I will be interested in following what you do and what your results are, keep us posted, please.
