    Idk bout the rest of you guys, but paying for a GP's gas blows. especially the fact that prices are high, and im a student. Any little things i could do to bring up the gas mileage? mods? i was thinking a cold air intake. i also plan on doing a topswap so would that give me worse gas mileage?

    Knowing your year, make and model might help us.


    Try things like a tune up first. Plugs, wires, pcv valve, air filter, oil change, clean the throttle body and MAF sensor.

    Top swap gives potential for worse gas mileage, but should not be bad if you stay out of it.

    Blower hardly uses any power when the bypass is open.
