Better fuel economy for 4g63t?

one thing some people don't know is to not acutally roll up to the stop light but to leave it in gear and don't use your brakes as much. This makes your car actually cut fuel which saves you gas. Than when you get to below the 1k mark the car will turn the fuel back on to make your car idle. Pretty cool feature that saves you gas. Small as it may be every little bit helps right now!

My best improvements have been in this order:

-Right foot - By far the biggest factor. Can get as high as 35mpg or lower than 10 depending on this.
-The tune - Leaning out tune from 10:1AFR to a better 11.3:1AFR gained some power and fuel economy.
-Tire pressure - I run my tires at the highest pressure I can without causing adverse tire wear. The great thing is that higher pressures tend to wear the center of the tread more, while autox wears the outer shoulders. So I have pretty even tire wear.
-Larger turbo - Slightly slower spool means less time in boost while normal driving.

Hope that helps.
 
5. Turning.
When approaching a turn, begin by using the best braking technique for the situation, but keep as much speed as possible. Yes, that's right, high speed cornering saves gas!.

LOL :applause:

I've gotten 31 mpg in the GST and 28 in the awd before. The only thing I can think of to add is making sure you have a good alignment for you wheels done. Too much camber or toe will really rob your mpg
 
Higher compression ratio. Keep everything as close to stock as possible. Exhausts and intakes will ruin your mileage on any car that directly measures intake airflow. An EMS that can do sequential injection and ignition will help a lot over the stock bullshit batch crap. An ignition driver like a CDI that can do re-strike will help.
