need to buy a gas sipper

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

I'm interested in the replies too.Because we're considering getting a ford focus, or a jetta.

What kind of Focus? I have the ST and I get if I am lucky about 20 city and 28 highway even though it says I am supposed to get 24/32. They always rate those numbers high anyway. The regular Focus does better, but they are a dog of a car. Girlfriend ended up getting one for a rental car, the 2.0l and OMG I think I could run faster. I seriosly was wondering if they did something to the car so you couldnt accelerate fast. My ST felt like a drag car when I would get in it after that, lol!

Do you have a clue what your talking about?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I had a R1 with a PC, and driving it fast I got around 34ish mpg with no passenger. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

Anyway, best bet is to get a car first of all. I bought an older (99' Audi A4). Most all of my driving is city. In the city I got about 19mpg city, and 22 highway when I first bought it. After I decided it was time to improve the gas mileage I did a few cheap things, and getting 23mpg city / 27 highway. Keep in mind, it costed me under $200. bucks and pays it's self back in a few weeks with all my driving.

Cold air intake off ebay with new filter (35. bucks)

Synthetic fluid change

Redline in the radiator

SeaFoam ( big difference, can tell difference at idle)

That's half-right. They were definitely sold through Chevy dealerships but it wasn't made by Toyota. It technically wasn't made by GM, either.

It was manufactured through a cooperative venture between Toyota and GM at the NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc) plant in Fremont, CA //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Agreed - but they can be made to have a bit of character...

Theres 2 differn't sea foams. The best one, is the one they have you run though your oil. It might make your car smoke for about 30-40 miles, but I bet you there will not be any corrosion left in there, and your mileage will improve.
