Default RE: MPG

i bought a set of headers. wasnting thining about gas mileage improveing, but it did. Only a mile per gallon or so, but when your only getting low teens for the mile, its a big improvement. Ive got a 350, city im guessing around 13 or 14 miles, highway, mid 20's. But ive got a 5 speed so i can decide when i want to change gears, plus that fifth gear helps me out at highway speeds when it comes to gas.

Wow... I had never realized that the numbers were that good.. It was defenitely a nice surprise when it only took me 14 bucks to get from Virginia Beach to DC... I have a 305 by the way.

headers do improve a little. but other than that, a smaller engine, or a lighter foot is about all you got goin for ya.
