    How to get good gas mileage:


    • Fresh iridium spark plugs every 100,000 miles
    • Fully-inflated tires
    • Aluminum lower intake manifold gasket - if you don't have this, the nylon stock ones eventually warp and you burn coolant, lowering mpg.
    • Clean throttle body
    • Clean maf sensor
    • "hot air" intake - for you, it's a 9" dry (not oiled) cone strapped to your maf sensor tube, air box removed. Leave the MAF screen in - it's necessary.
    • Maybe headers
    • Keep your foot out of the throttle
    • Emptying your junk out of the car


    Things that will get you worse gas mileage:


    • Believing that guy your dad knows is a mechanic
    • A chip
    • A tornado
    • Magnets
    • Any other snakeoil junk you've heard of

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
