Gas mileage! What the ****!!

I need more gas mileage. I had a piece of **** 1990 honda civic before, but it got about 30 to the gallon! Is there any performance mods that would work with my gas mileage a little too?

I heard a math injection would help, as well as a cold air intake, headers and exhaust.
Is any of that true? Any help would be appreciated!

I don't think any mod is going to get you better gas mileage. Plus, the cost of those mods would get you a sht load of gas!

A tune MAY help but I doubt it will be noticeable. Sell the car if you can't afford the gas.

more air, better fluids, less weight (including wheels and tires)

those are most effective fuel millage mods one can get.

You serious about ANOTHER gas mileage thread? Did you think getting a faster and heavier car would yield the same MPG? GTFO.

Lol because you are being an idiot, You want better gas mileage? Strip your car of any possible weight you can, get the lightest wheels possible, and don't stomp the gas.

Other than that either stop complaining or sell the car, if you can't afford the gas you shouldn't have bought the car. Plus a ton of these things you are talking about buying will costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars which could buy you plenty of gas.

Stop being an ****** and complaining.

Simmer down before you get a time out. This is an open forum and people are allowed to post their opinions. If you don't agree with them you are welcome to address them in a mature manner.

Or get a motorcycle, a decent little 500 will get 55mpg and can be had for the cost of a few intake mods and an exhaust.

A K&N drop in filter and maybe a Z-tube along with a MAF calibration will help but it will be so trivial that it really won't make much of a difference if you aren't driving it like a grandmother in a buick.
