For starters, instead of making a thread please use google or this forum's search function which is on the ribbon near the top of the page.

Second, start with the smaller and cheaper things first like asking yourself when is the last time you gave your car a tune up?

Google would have helped you find this article on NICO: http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/way...l-economy.html

Although I agree with zooopreme, I personally am happy you at least posted this question in Chat and not in tech... so I will do my best to answer.

First and foremost... Never, never NEVER run injector cleaners, fuel additives etc thru your system! If you suspect a bad injector, pull them out, send them to Witchhunter for clean/service and put them back in.

Putting in a new(er)OEM exhaust will not make any difference whatsoever.

Best thing to improve mpg are new plugs, wires, cap and rotor... Be sure you gap your plugs properly. Another great thing for good mpg's is keeping your freeway speeds to 65-70mph.

Best I can tell ya given how vague your question was. Thank you again for not putting this in the tech section- we appreciate it when new folks read the forum rules.

One last thing- I am NOT an ASE-certified mechanic. What I say above is opinion, not fact. Please treat it as such.

Hope this helps~

Mike
