The EPA just announced.....

Yep, glad to see that you saved a few pennies of your hard earned money. Just run the car as close to N.A. car as you can.

Actually, If you're going for a long trip, why not just take the turbo off and buy a 420a exhaust manifold from a junkyard and bolt it up.. I haven't seen one of these and don't know if the dimensions are right. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like a good way to save $$ on gas.

My talon got better gas mileage with the turbo on there, 25mpg. Then I took the turbo off and ran a custom pipe from my manifold to downpipe, 20mpg was all I got then. The 420a is not a mitsu motor, different exaust manifold. The best way to save gas is not use boost, most people have a hard time with this. And be really smooth with the gas pedal, and try to drive on highways as much as possible.

Gas per barrel is taking a dip already. Down 19 cents a barrel just from last night.

Yep, i saw that too. $69x something. Oil is going down but the pump price will still go up to control the demand. It doesn't appear to be a shortage of crude oil, it's the refining into gasoline that's the problem. Airlines won't admit to it but they're starting to worry. One large airport had enough fuel till next week.

Here in the Chicago area that I am in (Carol Stream/Glendale Heights) gas has been over 3.40 for 87 since the morning the storm hit, and it hasn't fluctuated much.

I guess driving a Neon is a good thing right now, 38mpg on the highway and low 30's in the city if I drive good, and it runs fine on 87 octane!

The turbo improves the efficiency of combustion. If you don't ram on the gas pedal too hard, you'll get better mileage with the turbo on that without a turbo.
