Actually improving the efficiency of the engine is a proven mileage booster. I totally agree with ya o2 - but you have to harness the heat and drive it efficiently too. For a NA engine higher compression (think 11:1 and higher - yes on pump gas mind you ! ) coupled with proper cam selection and of c...
