Another newbie
Howdy folk, as the title says I'm new here and new to MPG modifications in general. I have been researching various devices to add to my engine to help modify how much gas it burns but after reading the gains made with body mods and driving methods mentioned here I will be trying many of them first.
BTW names Rusty, I have a 98 Sunfire and a 2000 Caravan, I already use a good synthetic oil and good quality filters, and I also regularly grease the ball joints and wheel bearings with a good quality lithium grease as well. The engine has always passed the emissions test by such a high margin I often wonder if the test is even worth it.
I haven't tested the MPG I'm currently getting however for my Sunfire, it's EPA ratting 24 mpg / 34 mpg which inst too bad but I'm sure I can get better. and 20/26 for my van which is surprising that it's that good but it is a small engine relatively speaking.
I'm planning on driving down to Florida later on this year, I'm in Canada. I was hoping to make a few of the mods to my van to get the most that I can out of it. But I have to ask one question first. The last big road trip I took into the US I had to gas up. aside from the prices being ridiculously lower than Canadian gas, it would seem the gas I bought lasted almost twice as long. I never too and MPG readings then either and I should have. This leads me to ask, and I'll be search this forum to see if it's been answered yet. Which gas company has the best MPG formula and the cleanest burning formula? And how much of a difference has been seen between different gas companies? Comparing the different Canadian gas pumps I don't see a huge difference.
Seems this is getting a bit long So I'll jump around the forum a bit and decide on which mods to go with first. The Deciding factor being, cheapest vs best gains.
