  • Gas Mileage

    My stock stickshift 92 just rolled over to 197k miles. I haven't checked my gas mileage for a few years so I did. Worked out to 44 mpg, just like the last time I looked and every other time previously. I treated it to some Turtle Wax. Keep on truckin..............

    If you're looking for mpg's, amazon.com has a $60 chip for ford Festivas. A coworker has this one on his F150 and he immediately noticed 5mpg difference and he drives like he's got numbers on the door.

        An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

          It's called placebo effect. Plus he paid all that money for it, and is forcing himself into thinking it is working just to avoid feeling like he'd been scammed.

          All those chips are a scam.
          1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)
          2002 Chevy Cavalier LS Sport 2.2L DOHC Ecotec (Threw a Rod)
          1998 Chevy Monte Carlo LS 3.1 V6 (225k miles) Best MPG = 28

            Yes, clearly you got chumped by all those "experts" on here who say to upgrade your motor to a B6/B6D/B8/BP. What do they know?! All you needed was this chip!

            I'm picturing Charlie beating Porsches and Vettes with a stock B3 with this chip......:-)

            Best way to save half your gasoline costs: drive half as much. Plan you week's driving and combine errands, for example.

              I attribute my Festiva's great gas mileage to my liberal application of Turtle Wax over the years. Used it on my cars since the 50's.

                You know why Turtle Wax is so expensive? Because a turtle ears are so small!!
