Pretty simple, what have you done to your car to increase gas mileage? (Inc. Mod and Particular style of driving)

i skip shifts when driving around town 1 to 3... 3 to 5 etc. not a bad way if you ask me. its hard but just stay off the pedal it saves a ton of gas

More air in, more air out should help somewhat (lid and cutout). I'm not a big fan of skipping gears, so I just shift early (upshift at around 1800-2000 rpms).

dont drive over the speed limit, dont accelerate super quick from light to light

I also seafoam my car, along with ALL scheduled maintenance

I also have SSRA to slp lid, to ported TB, and SLP LM 1 and i hope to get some LT's in the near future

2.73's, 6 speed keep skip shift weight reduction easy on the throttle, no A/C stock or lightweight wheels. that should be pretty good for gas mileage

skip shift and low rpms around town. and i resist the urge to floor it everywhere. mods are in sig. get about 12-13mpg right now around town.

If you are driving a V8 and watching gas mileage- you should really sell it and buy yourself a 4-banger- let someone who will appreciate it enjoy that LS1. They are not meant to be shortshifted, kept under the speed limit, etc-
However as far as mods that also help mileage... a turbo can increase mpg till you get over 5-8 pounds

Are you serious?

so what if he wants to get good mileage out of his V8. just because he wants to save gas doesnt automatically mean he needs a 4 banger.

Keep it stock and drive slower.

Putting my car on jack stands and syphining out all the fuel while I get a new engine helps.

0 gallons in divided by 0 miles driven puts me at equaliberium with the natural enviorment...

Honestly just shift earlier, don't step on the gas, and make sure you change your oil and keep your intake clean.

Other than leaning out your fuel tables in a PCM tune, opening up your gear ratios, or putting a V6 in the car, you are at a loss in $ with all the other mods. Weight reduction also could help, who needs a spare tire, back seat, carpet, or radio anyways?

these cars do pretty good on fuel for what they are. if you lighten up on the skinny pedal it will help. good luck though i can't do it. too much fun.
my day at work today sucked then i came home to listen to wifey bitch i did enjoy the ride back and forth to work though. yeah gas prices suck!!

Adding mods is the absolute wrong answer.

More air in, more air out? Are you serious?

Does nobody understand how a closed-loop MAF system works? The more air it measures, the more FUEL it tells the fuel system to add. Thus it uses MORE GAS!

Mods such as a lid don't add more air all the time. It's just their so potentially a greater amount of air can enter the engine. The throttle body controls the air flow. I'd think removing any air restrictions would improve the MPG as long as you don't get on it.
