That's all in your head. The only mod I can think of that helped the a/f ratio in any way was the MREV and spacer. Your motor is actually running less efficiently when you start modding. If you get a tune, then yes, you can get better mileage.

And more air in your tires is good for better mileage, although it's dangerous.

Nitrogen is what the dealership told me that would be good to save on oil consumption. but i have heard that a spacer would help.

Am I missing something? How does nitrogen in your tires help oil consumption?

I am in agreement. I was under the impression that it dissipated slower than regular atmosphere? Checking your tire pressure everyday would have the same effect.

I have an 05 6MT, no oil issues here at all, I change it about every 3500 miles or so.

Buy the car, its the sickness you only live once.

'05 coupe 6mt... no oil consumption issue. However just about every piece of the (explicitive deleted) interior rattles/squeaks... it's annoying and the POS bose system doesn't get loud enough to cover it all up.

MPG wise I get about 23-24 average... and all I know is WOT and maintaining speed. Though, I do primarily do highway (avg about 80-85mph).

Tires... I hate tires, why should I treat them nice. Must. Kill. Tires... (seriously, i'm lucky to get about 10k out of them... go ZR & ****ty camber due to tein lowering springs).

Also back to the aforementioned HP and TQ numbers, this can lead to HFS also known as "Heavy Foot Syndrome" and one of the main effects of this is lower MPG
4. Poor Tread Life- Again I think one of main contributing factors to this is also due to "HFS"

Don't rattle or creaks neither and I get 22MPG and I think it's fine for the HP and TQ I make like you said.
