Wheel Alignment is not an elective service. Choosing not to alignment your car costs in fuel economy and tire wear.

I am looking at the Hypertech ThermoMaster chip (pn#351722) coupled with a PowerStat 160 degree thermostat. These two parts cost about $150. Does anybody know what kind of gains (hp, torque, mpg), if any I would be looking at with a chip like this? Also would this have a positive or negative impact on my fuel economy? Thanks for your help!

Looking for mechanical improvements/upgrades/alterations to improve the fuel economy on a honda civic hybrid. Not looking for advice on driving style. References to websites would be a great help.

I live where it snows a little every winter but not a ton. I do have an AWD vehicle if it does snow alot. How is passenger space, fuel economy, interior features, and what do you think is the coolest feature?

Trucks do use more gas than SUVs in general, yet it’s the SUVs that keep getting criticized for its fuel economy.

Also in Canada, the government has issued a gas guzzler tax on all cars exceeding a certain fuel consumption rating, except trucks (they didn’t even state as to why trucks were exempt from the tax), so what is it about trucks that make them less prone to criticism?

They only have 407 hours on them, they are 375 hp. I’m wondering what kind of fuel economy they get, if their any known problems with them, etc.
These are in a 1986 31′ Tiara.
Do they get better fuel economy than the original 454 crusaders?

As my car gets past 100K miles I am noticing that it is starting to get poor fuel economy. It’s all tuned up, air in the tires, and oil-changed, so why is performance suffering?

My car manual recommends 30 psi and the tire maker has 44 psi on it. So far i kept to 30 psi and my car doesnt have great fuel economy, averaging 17 mpg in city and 23 highway; but now i am hear that increasing the pressure will greatly boost my fuel economy…is this safe? and what pressure between 30 and 44 would achieve a good balance of fuel economy without sacrificing safety?
