Some things you could do:
1. keep up with the tune ups (big one)
2. cold air intake
3. header & exhaust kit
other then those i really cant think of anything else that would help

agreed. I also heard with turbo systems you get better gas mileage. And with the 420A motor you can bolt up either a Neon trans or... I don't rememeber the others but they will give you better gas mileage but you'll be slower.

I have an '08 Focus (with some miles) in my showroom that shows 35.5 mpg in the message center in the dash. I use them as demos sometimes too and a half a tank of gas gets me back and forth to work and a little runnin around all week long man. One of our drivers has a 600 cc scooter. It's bad-azz LOL.

You aren't going to get satisfying MPG results with an Eclipse no matter what. End of thread.

Who ever told you that bolting a turbo on a nt car gives better gas mileage is a moron. There is a reason you need to upgrade a fuel pump and injectors when you go TC, its beacuse you need to be able to supply more gas!!.
