Hey everyone! So it seems like my fuel consumption is getting worst for some reason, I know last year same thing when the temperature dropped! During the summer I get about 18L/100km or 13MPG and now I'm getting 20 21L/100km or 10 11 MPG.... Now my question is what is the best bang for my buck to help a little..

Thanks everyone

well in this area they switch out to winter gas and kills the mpg a bit. do they do that up there? Are you doing a lot more short trips with more idling? I'm around 10-11 mpg right now too. I'm doing a lot of short driving and its killing me

I got a truck i dont care about mpg. I'd drive my gfs car if i want to sip gas lol

another key is keep your foot out of it. I can't help it even with mods.

theres no saving gas for me. So i cant say if intake, tuner and muffler helps or hurts my mpg.
