hey everyone. i am a current resident of new jersey and i own a 2005 monte 3.8. today the gas price topped $3.50 and supposed to go higher. i was wondering if any of you new of some things i could do for better gas mileage. i figured the throttle body spacer and a CAI but i wasnt sure if their was anything else i could do. thanks.

 

I don't think any of those mods will make any significant increase in gas mileage, especially when you factor in the cost of them and how much gas you could buy with that money. So if that is your main goal in getting those mods, I'd try to convince you not to. But if you generally want to mod your car then go for it, might want to at least do an axle back exhaust too!

 

Well down here in florida isn't much better,but what isn't,lol. I run 93 in my 78 and 79 so you can just imagine what i am spending.But i also sell a device called the energy cel.It goes aroung the fuel line,making the gas burn hotter.I have picked up 3 to 4 miles to the gallon.Every little helps.

 

IN LA (LOWER ALABAMA) OUR GAS IS ONLY 2.04 PER REG GRADE, THE SPACER AND CIA AND U BEND REMOVAL WILL LET YOU GET AROUND 31/32 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 25/27 TOWN
MY 3.8 HAS THESE AND GETS THAT. SEEMS TO GET BETTER ON HIGHWAY AROUND 80
BUT TO MANY SMOKEY'S HERE TO DRIVE THAT SO 70/74 TOP.

 

what you want to do is regular maintaince. Plugs, Wires, Air Filter, PCV valve, and even an oil change helps...
Air Filter is a $10 item. You can prolly get away with Spark Plug wires. If the Plugs are not Platum tipped, you can clean them with a wire brush. i clean my PCV Valve with Throttle Body Cleaner.

 

Im with Boost, regular maintenance. But one he failed to mention was tire pressure. Check it often especially with the weather changing. I should change with ambient temp. Underinflation is more grip and more rotational friction. Keep em aired up for better fuel mileage.

 

aww damn, u got me!!!
