Thumbs up

I just bought my car this past weekend and I have been driving it so much I am almost on empty. I look at how many miles I have driven and it really isn't much. I think I am averaging about 15 mpg. Is that good? I sounds crumby too me. Is their anything I can do to make it better. I read somewhere on the site that adding an ignition box might help a little. Can someone help me!

Don't push so hard with your right foot.

I'm in the 12 neighborhood, then again, I have a freakin anvil for a foot, and my car runs rich and boosts to 15 psi.

My car is slightly modded with the usuals. I was just wondering if you could improve it. I guess what I want is what J9fd3s is getting. 16-17 range. Will a ignition box help? What will??

an ignition box will help get a little better gas mileage, 1 city, 2 highway usually.

Pulling the rotary and putting in a nice VW turbo-diesel will help the gas mileage.

Just fill 'er up and drive! Fifteen is about right. Guzzling gas is what all good Americans do!
