better gas milage

[Guss]

has any one tried those as seen on tv throttle body spacers that are supposed to get you better gas milage?? and if so are they worth it, or do they work

ehhh.... search the forums for mileage, and you might find some interesting posts... though nothing has yet been said about those spacers I don't think...

Theres not too much easy stuff u can do to gain mileage...i threw on a TB spacer since it was given to me, no gains...just looks neat and with a flipped air cleaner lid sounds neat. E-fans seemed to give me more mid to high end power. I wanna go on a trip again to see if i can actually break 13 mpg...last time i was close, but didn't do it. I think i am getting slightly better mileage from it, but it does do wonders for cooling, so even if i were to lose mileage (which im not) then its still worth it. Other than that, having the correct gearing helps out a lot. In some cases headers and intake can improve mileage SOME...but don't expect much more than 1 mpg increase if u are lucky.
