Get a bigger engine.

Does it run?

I also use the EOC method (engine off coast), and it helped me improve my mileage to 38.7mpg with snow tires installed. Now that I have my summer tires back on, I'm hoping to get just over 40mpg. These numbers are in mixed driving, at about a 50:50 ratio.

If you're not comfortable with the EOC ...

This is BAD advise! I know someone who used to "slip into nutral" to save gas. Did this going down a hill, and when a turn came up he couldnt accelerate out of it and banged up his car. There could be times, usually in traffic, when you may need to speed up to avoid a crash or a hit. What if ...

I wrote down my mileage at the quarter tank points, then threw the paper away. I do remember having 56 miles at the full mark, and I believe 220 miles at 1/2 tank. Around 300 miles at the 1/4 mark, and the light came on and refilled at 396, right about on the empty mark. So if you track by the ...

I don't know the conversion.

Since I bought my car in January, I've averaged just over 33 mpg. It went up considerably when I changed the spark plugs and wires. Mine is a manual though.

I make a lot of effort to save on gas...you probably wouldn't consider doing the things I do. I go the speed ...

I had a boost controller on my 280zx, and the dial got turned a couple times around by accident (passenger had their foot on it maybe, dunno) I got on the interstate, got on the gas heavy, saw the dial jump around, and BANG! I thought something had broke. Was just way too much boost. Turned the dial ...

yea i think mine just doesnt warm up i took the thermastat out because it was stuck and i never put one back in
Definitely replace the thermostat. My MX-3 wouldn't reach operating temperature on my hour drive to work in the morning until I replaced my broken (open) thermostat. And just think, that ...

Time for a new car?

What was wrong with the old one?

Quite simply put, a "true" beginner shouldn't be considering an engine swap. Drive your car, keep it on the road, and save your money.

When a repair needs done, consider how long it should take you, and how much a shop would charge. If possible, get a ride to work instead of shelling out money for ...

That list has just about every car ever made listed. I believe Lamborghini or Ferarri said they won't put their cars in games for various reasons, and of course, that list has dozens of both on it. Remember in GT4, the Porsche wasn't named a "Porsche." It had another name, but of course it's obvious ...
