04 coupe. MPG vs Horsepower

sadly...I have grown tired of my plane g35 coupe. I picked out the exact one i wanted. NO spoiler, Black. Tan interior. moonroof. nav. and got the windows blacked out. now i want a new car, but i dont. i know i can love my g35 again. i want better fuel econ and more horsepower. But ill settler for one or the other (either will let me lover her once again). what can i do to make my G get 25mpg? if not that, then what can i do to make my G get mid 13's? keep in mind im not rich and can't afford to make it a hybrid or add Turbo!

Dude I'm getting around 13 and I'm pretty much stock!!! lol

Why not go for looks? I just had my stock 7 spoke 18's painted black with a high gloss finish and had the grill, minus the emblem painted gloss black as well. Looks like a totally different car!! All together that ran me 4 hundy... I'll post some before and after pics if you want to see in the next couple of days... If so, just add me as a friend or something.

ahhh.. my friend.. there is no way you can have HP with out loosing MPG.. thats a fact because you need to use more fuel to produce more power..

as far as the mid 13's.. idk.. dont go turbo.. get a used Supercharger.. its CARB legal

and seems to be cheaper and easier to get installed than a turbo.. IDk.. just my thoughts

if you want MPG.. get a saturn.. gets you like 35MPG.. or a gay prius..

hybrid Escalade

Hybrid Freelander

hybrid Escape

Hybrid Chevy Silverado

Hybrid (something)

and they get you seriously sick MPG

so its obvious the OP needs to invest some time into figuring out how performance parts work. The claim of better fuel economy and horsepower is an indicator of insufficient knowledge of how things work. It's ok we were all there, just search around and you will realize why that claim is ridiculous.

I'm really interested in seeing those photos! I have been debating myself weather I should do that. Did you do it yourself or bodyshop? What kind paint did you use?
Cheers,
