    Screw efficiency I want performance . But no really, when I changed to a 180* stat I didn't notice a change in fuel economy at all. No doubt the colder stat will lower gas mileage, but the change in fuel economy will be so miniscule that most people won't notice a change at all. So in my eyes a 180* stat is totally worth it, even if the gains are minimal at least it's something.

    When I took the advice of a supposed tuner (no longer around) and dropped tstat and plug sizes I lost some serious mileage but my mods are listed in my sig 160 degree Tstat and AL 103 and with a GOOD tune I am getting 30mgh highway with 3 kids and related items for the kids at 70mph the lowest I get is 20mpg and thats beating on the car all the time if ur in it for good mileage DON'T MOD THE CAR

    Nope nobody here, this forum is actually really nice. There's a lot of respectful people that ask completely legit questions IMO. There's many others that have stupid people (like the ones i explained above lol) that i just can't stand. IMO if someone is cheap enough to cry about an extra $2 per fill up for premium, they aren't enthusiasts, they aren't "car" guys/gals, and they ARE f-ing retards. They don't belong on forums period. They need to go buy a Geo Metro (bad ass car IMO ) and STFU! I just in the disappointment when someone says that sh*t...
