im going to order a tuner was wonder how much will it help but i want it to make the car faster not for fuel mpg or can you do both with a tuner

I'd get a Tuner/CAI combo from like Brenspeed or American Muscle. Thats wake up your car quite a bit. Cai will also get you 2mpg bigger (give or take). 15 sounds a bit low... although i have an 04 GT i even get 18 19 mpg in town and ehhh that okay i guess.

yeah i was getting 18mpg in my camaro if i could get 18mpg i would jump for joy i really love this car but gas is killing me.

I suggest doing what i said, i may not be the root of your issues but it will def wake up your car and increase its performance. Good luck

I don't think thats out of the ordinary. I'm driving ultra conservative over the last week and I'm getting 18. That's trying to keep RPMs at or under 2,000 all the time, which is not fun at all.

Not to bad in the mileage dept, can I suggest a Volks tdi!

2,000rpm's damn is that what it takes to get 18mpg?is your car stock?

Try getting lucas fuel treatment(small clear bottle with goldish liquid) and the octane booster(tall red bottle) put those in and fill up, reset the settings(mpg avg...etc) and seewhat that does, before i was averaging around the same as u, after that, ive been averaging low 20s in the city and high 20s on the highway....getting the cai/tuner combo willdef help too
