Gas-Mileage
Lately i've been saving up for new rims..and i've been tryin to think of little things i could do to get better gas-mileage. I heard if i turn off my traction control that it helps out a bit..and i also heard that the neons i have under my dash ( plugged into cigarette lighter) also decrease the Gasmileage. Anyone got any tips. My Supercharger is hungry all day long and it eats all my gas.

Your traction control may actually help your mileage. But with it off or on, you'll never see the difference. The only way your neons will make a diff is if you were running enough of them to require a MUCH larger alternator, and the alt would rob power.
Neither of these are a contributor. You're back to the basics. Clean the TB, O2, basic tuneup including plugs/wires, check your tire pressure, etc. Understand your weather is hurting you. No getting around that.

Those neon tubes won't do anything to your cars performance. You could have TEN of them all wired to the same power source with out doing any harm. The amount of power they use is almost nil(about a miliamp).
