Fuel efficiency

[a.Lpha]

At risk of now looking like a spammer, i mean really, how many posts can i come up with in a few days!?

I want to know if anybody has any ideas about fuel efficiency in the LS I'm paying about $90 to fill the tank, and would like to get a bit more bang for my buck so to speak.

keep ur Transmission in Overdrive all the time. Dont drive above 55mph. Keep tires inflated to 35 or above psi, new air filter, pcv, plugs, wires, caps, rotors etc. Even when my low fuel light comes on and i fill the tank, I am only able to get 18 gallons in the tank. I heard this car as a 21 gallon tank. I dont think that is correct.

In most cases other than tune, maintenance .. It's the "nut".....

Yeah i know all the basics, i mean driving in a higher gear, keep the tires up and the car maintained, just was wondering if there was anything, like less known

Keeping fresh o2 sensors, air cleaners and maf clean..
Tyre [tire] pressures maybe a little higher than manu specs??
Making sure brakes are not binding, no excess weight in car...
Aften higher rpm at lighter throttle opening is better than higher gear with foot planted... But it's still the nut that controls it all...

Ahh, the famous "nut that holds the wheel"

I agree wholeheartedly.

Learn to drive frugally and you'll save.
