NO. All that ebay stuff is crap. Mythbusters busted most of those devices. Simple maintenance is the best gas saver. Replace temp sensor (the one that sends to ecu), replace thermostat, synthetic oil appropriate for where you live (temperature wise), shift at 3k, new o2 sensors,...I'm sure there are more that people will add.

, shifting at about 3000-3500 with a stock KA and you should get about 22mpg

This ? definitely doesn't belong in the tech section. Maintenance and a feather foot, simple as that.

Leave your car at home and take the bus if you are too worried about gas mileage you can't afford to drive.-Rik
