If you havent already, get yourself an intake and exhaust
I went on a little road trip
MPG went from 31-33.7 MPG
Add'* up and you have a nicer sounding, slightly faster car.

Haha... you think intake and exhaust saves gas. That'* funny. You don't have the same problems most of us do.
Theory: Once you mod...you should use the mods.
Result: More horsepower more often, less fuel economy
Result2: Less fuel in tank..."Where'd it go"

I know its such a unexciting topic but my last car was a Suzuki esteem and that thing got about 32 miles a gallon. The nice thing was it can get 25-30 all day, stop and go or freeway, but the car was too small and weak and just not me.
I didnt want it anymore and I got my Bonneville because it was such a great deal. Its really nice to get 30+ on such a big car on the freeway.
Stop and go traffic does chug gas though. Thats the only thing I miss about an econo car.
