93 10 anniversary. looking to mod for max MPG

Change all your fluids to synthetic. This can increase mpg more than most people would think. It will also increase the lifespan of the engine.

I heard that once you switch to synth you cant switch back

And what else besides oil??

i would put bolt-ons and then tune via chipped ecu.

w/ all the bolt ons and rollin on 17s in the summer time i got 32mpg in AZ w/ the A/C on all freeway so idk bolts on may help a bit. Now, w/ my roof rack and bike ontop of my car, i only get 21 mixed city and highway/traffic jams.

try weight reduction... the lighter the car, the less gas it will use to haul the car

Its a good thing I come back to read posts. Some of you listed quite a few things to look into for myself that will improve mileage.

i was thinking intake at first, then exhaust, got a buddy with an escort ZX2 who went from mid to high 20's MPG and now running low 40's MPG. this was because of intake and exhaust. the only difference is the has a manual tranny and i have an auto. how is it that i go about tuning the ECU, can this be done at home with some equipment or must it be taken somewhere?

[ssanc153]

also wanted to know what the MPG gains were in the new intake manifold from EX and the ECU, or is that more geared toward power?

1) This is a problem why? Synthetic provides way more protection for your engine and extends the necessary intervals between oil changes. It's simply a superior product.

2) This is misinformation to begin with. Modern synthetics are blendable oils and you can switch back and forth with no issues, although why anyone would switch back is beyond me.

3) Manual and automatic transmission fluids can also be had in synthetic.
