Careful about modding cars for miliage... are the parts/labor worth thier weight in gasoline? Usually not. i love the people that say they got the intake, headers and exhuast for the better gas miliage... spending $1000 on parts and probably almost as much on labor will take you yearssssssss to make up the difference with saving a few gallons even since gas has tripled in price over the years! even $500 is ALOT of gas.
Light rims/tires that are skinny that are checked weekly for proper fill will help a good deal... dont fill the tank up every time, a gallon of liquid weighs a good deal...sure free weightloss is good, but if youre a fatass lose some weight yourself lol love seein these 300lbs'ers ride around in thier civics expecting good miliage hahaha.... keep the windows up, dont use the a/c, lite foot pressure, neutral or clutch in for down hills and comming up to red traffic lights, no need to waste gas getting to a stop faster unless some dip****s behind you tailgating... dont pass cars unless they are travling slower then you already, trailing vans and trucks works to a decent degree on long trips, get a ride with someone else as often as possible or get a motorcycle lol, def lose body kits or anything like that, keep the motor, tranny and diffs well oiled, make sure the airfilter is big and clean as possible, keep up with tuning...ahh and air resitance isnt linear to speed, its exponential so slow down! going twice as fast makes 4x the resitance...not 2x. |
yeh im on a tight budget with this and by the way im not 300 lbs im 220 but 6'7"
|
holy damn you fit in a civic? ahaha i'm 6'2 and i hate imports as it is... at least you have an excuse if you get cought drag racing... you cant help but floor it!

:nod: the more you have, the more power you get while increasing your fuel efficiency
|

|

Aluminum Underdrive pully?
|
at this point any money you put into it outside maintenance will cost you more than you'll save.

If you're 6'7, this is a simple problem. Cut the floor out.
