The gas mileage thread

i was surfing around the internet and found this adobe file with "tips" on increase your gas mileage. some of it i agree with, some i'm not too sure about.

http://www.superchargerperformance.c...ageBooster.pdf

what do you think.

personally, i get around or better than what the alero is rated for.

things i have done from the list include
NGK spark plugs, K&N intake, Seafoam regularly, Full synthetic oils, High tire PSI, aluminum rims.

now the synthetic oil, i never believed it to really make a fuel mileage difference.

My mileage is

City, 25-27mpg (this is usually hard driving, not driving like an old lady)
Highway, average 35mpg. but have gotten 42 on a few occasions.

what i average in the alero, 30-32mpg mixed with small town driving (lots of stop and go) and highway driving.
