i think you are off to a good start by not driving a big old V-8 around, premium gas at 2.50 a gallon and about 10mpg makes the challenger expensive

straight?

good plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fuel filter, maybe msd ignition, skinnier tires like stock 14" wheels 185/60/14, drive with windows up, don't drive through the city, there are millions of things you can do.

take a bus, train...

1. Lose all weight possible.
2. Do a tune up.
3. Drive slow.
4. Get taller gears/tires.

Exhaust systems decrease your gas milage.
So do intakes.
So does 'the tornado'.
So do pulleys.
So do everything that creates more power. Everything. That makes more power. Decreases your gas milage. Everything.

and why are u talking out ur @$$? how about posting why u seem to think that?


exhaust systems and intakes let ur engine breath better = dosen't work as hard = better gas

pulleys, less strain on motor = better gas


now w/ a intake/exhaust u might see a decrease in mpg but that's prob b/c ur driving around at WOT all the time to hear it...
