The real shame about the MPG issue...
The real shame about the MPG issue, in my opinion, is that besides that, I consider this a perfect car! It has the outside looks, the inside look and feel, the great drive (I don't care about the HP, especially since I don't have a dyno in my garage)...
but then I see the gas needle drop a notch every time I rev past 5K, and my smile turns into a nervous frown.
Isn't there ANYTHING at all that we can figure out to fix this?!? My brother said maybe a high-quality air filter could boost it by 2MPG.
Anything else? C'mon, all you mechanical geniuses out there!
