With talk of oil going to $70 a barrel and my having to drive (about twice a month) 200 highway miles to Williamsburg + normal local driving. I've started to think about ways to save gas as I mod my car.
Of course the Pulleys should help, next I might lower the car, which should help (right?) for my highway driving at least. 10w30 oil should help.
Maybe better intake/exhaust should be on my lists of "things to do to my car"?
What else?
[I do have a Mazda protege sitting, covered, in my driveway, but that car gets like 28-30 mpg on the highway, my Benz gets 25-28 mpg highway, so it's not worth it to switch (plus the other factors like safety, no cruise control, etc).]
As of right now, it seems like most of the Mods I want to do will help my MPG (except of course the powerchip), can you think of anything else I can do?
