320.9 Miles to that tank. I don't know if anyone has ever had their mileage in that range before, but I just wanted to say :D
I will let you in on my secret for getting that high of gas mileage. (But don't tell anyone) ;)
New spark plugs/wires
Seafoam
Free ram air
Accelerate a bit slower
Keep the RPMs down
I dont know if the plugs/wires amount to much, but I was losing gas with a misfire, so they have to count for a little.
Seafoam on the other hand... Wow. For any of you who have never tried this stuff, you're burning money. I jumped 15-20 miles per tank after this stuff. Not to mention how smoothe the ride was after I did it. This stuff is great and I will continue to use it each time I change the oil (which is recommended).
Free Ram Air does a little. You get a throatier sound at higher RPMs and more air into the engine. I increased about 5 miles per tank with this. I have included a picture if any of you wish to do this FREE mod. Just use a dremel and cut along the dotted red lines (after taking the assembly out, that is ;) ).

Accelerate a bit slower and keep the RPMs down pretty much speak for themselves. I was revving to about 3K before I shifted into the next gear (except from 4th to 5th, of course, that was about 2500) And it gets you some more mileage per tank for sure. Just kinda baby it a little. Instead of shifting at 3K, shift at around 2500-2700, it helps a little. For autos, just dont push as far down on the pedal when you accelerate. Oh, and on top of that for manuals, put it in 5th gear as often as possible to keep the RPMs down.
Before I did these 5 things, I was getting around 270-280 a tank. Now I never get below 300. With gas prices as high as they are now and considering they are going to continue rising, I would think about freeing up some air and using the seafoam.
I jumped about 15 miles per tank after the seafoam alone.
Just thought I would drop some money saving tips out for you guys, since a lot of you helped me with the spark plugs a few weeks back. Hope this saves you some money so you can throw it into future mods. :cool:
