Boosted Falcon

I do some other minor stuff like a warm air intake to help keep the Insight in lean burn as well as block the radiator in cold weather.

Another aesthetic modification I made is to add an Mobile LED MD-550 scrolling LED sign in the rear hatch window. (The company is no longer in business.) I put up fun things like "Now Getting 85 MPG", to share with other drivers around me.

Is there a simple way to fool my ECU into reducing the amount of fuel it tells the injectors to pass? Sort of a flip of the switch 'lean burn' mode?

what TYPE of tire is the most fuel efficient?

Universal Flat wheel Covers

yay! i hit 30mpg!

17) Avoid drive-thrus
24) Drive when it's warm out
28) Minimize idling when stopped

If you're going to be stopped for more than a few seconds, shift to neutral and shut off your engine. This is one of the main reasons hybrid vehicles get such good fuel economy in urban driving.
33) Lights on for safety; lights off for MPG
47) Drive shoeless

Some hardcore hypermilers drive in sock or bare feet so they can modulate the accelerator to the finest degree (particularly important when "driving with load" / "target MPG driving" at cruise.
70) Automatic transmission: key off, then Park

Save a few drops of fuel by modifying your shutdown procedure: when parking, turn off the key *before* shifting to Park and setting the parking brake.
105) Listen to slower music

But seriously, if i see some knt in a prius with an l.e.d sign telling me its mpg/l per 100 i am going to go kamikaze style and run the fker off the road!

wow, what a find. I'm wanting to trade in my mustang for an insight here in the next year or so, and I'm having a hard time tracking one down in my area. Guess there's not too many eco-conscious people here in OK. Only hybrids I can seem to find are SUV'

75mpg@57mph 88CRX HF 177Kmiles, K&N filter, 5-30 Valvoline Full Synthetic, Sumitomo HTR T4's on back @ 46psi, Old Roadhandler Voyagers on front @ 40psi, restrictor tube is missing on filter box, only 1 rearview mirror drivers side, antenna 1/2 up, stock, shiny paint, 220lb driver, i'm thinking maybe i should get it aligned, toss out the spare, get some new tires for the front, put a throttle stick on it and maybe 80mpg? Or will I have to lower the antenna?
