As we all know the economy is bad and is not getting better any time soon. Since gas in my area is $3.27, I have been pondering new ways to cut gas usage on my 240sx. Of course I considered going turbo to get more bang for my buck, but I also know that bio-diesel is not only good for the environment, but also light on the gas pump. Any ideas or advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks again NICO.

how is turbo more bang for the bucks? also you can't use biodiesel unless you plan in sticking a diesel in your car. All i can say is maybe lean out your ka safc and intake, header, exhaust to let it breath better. Easy on the foot helps alot, reduce some weight, keep your tires inflated properly all the time, keep up with maintance and you should have no problem getting 30 to the gallon(freeway) thats what i get when i drive normal speeds. Maybe you get that fitch magnetic fuel catalyst i see in commercial. I;d try it out if didn't cost so much.

If you drive with a lead foot though it will get worse gas mpg.
