Heres a different subject ^^
hi im pretty new to the dsm world, and ive been looking around at all these forums. i currently own a 99 rs and a 99 gsx. the rs for delivery and the gsx for dd. i see all these forums for more horsepower, but i want to know, is there anything i can do to my rs that can improve the gas milage significantly? the gsx imma tune out, possibly 350+, but i want the rs to make the most out of each ounce of gas. i havnt read any forums about it, and i was wundering if it were possible to get it to 35+mpg with some modification? i want it to sip gas like it were tea. if you can help thanks in advance ^^

thats the point im trying to make, i want my RS, (not gs) to be my new delivery car, i just picked her up from the dealer i had a 92 paseo which got me around 40+ mpg and 25-30 just aint cutting it ^^ btw, my rs is for my job(delivery) and the gsx is just for fun. having that extra oomph in your step helps a bunch.

i dont think you will be able to increase it over what it comes with. Sometimes with turbo cars you can lean them out. But i doubt you can do it with a NA car. The only thing you can do is maybe improveon any emmision parts that might not be up to par if you are getting bad mileage.

Why an Eclipse for a "delivery" job?? You deliver pizzas or something man? LOL..just messin'!! Actually a Ford Focus would work pretty well for you too. They get awesome mileage like 35 mpg's plus.

that's tru, and yeah there's no real way that i've ever heard of to get better gas mileage than what the car came with. the only thing i can think of is if you put your car on a diet and make it lightweight, but even that i don't think will be worth it in the end

Just for the record Ford lies about the MPG on the focus. My girlfriend bought a brand new 06 5 speed and neither of us driving have seen it over 31 and that was like once. in town she gets as bad as 28. Her sister has a 03 and it is the same story. they must figure 35mpg ignoring wind resistance, perfect temperature and driving downhill
