Well....back to the origional reason for the thread.

OP - when you installed your plugs, did you torque them down to 13 FT/LB???

If not, you may be facing some serious plug blowing issues in the near future.

Just saying.

Properly inflated tires, not driving like a maniac, not keeping excessive junk in the car, and a tuneup does wonders. Now, I was experimenting with a hydrogen unit on my 95 Saturn with good results. Saw a 5MPG consistent increase in mileage on an already efficient motor, on top of that I had a major boost in power. I have yet to build one for my mustang, but I am going to give it a shot before too long.
