Default Increase fuel economy
My 97 has the 2.4L. I read up on gimmicks likethe Tornado vortex junk. Officially branded as 'snake-oil'. But are there other methods to improve my fuel economy? I run PLUS 92 now in the tank. It’s ok now but are there computer chips or something that can be added or am I just stuck with my average of 25-27 on the freeway?

Thanks!

Other than changing your driving habits ... that's it.
