Question:
Was looking at cold air intake, but it seems that only a true high-dollar, filter outside the engine compartment CAI would be effective. Heard that using a "tornado" insert and a regular K&N air filter would do better for increasing performance and mileage than an under the hood CAI pipe and filter. Also have heard tons about "chip" upgrades. I know I want it all, but I truly want to increase performance, as well as mileage, and DO NOT want to have a grapefruit shooter exhaust. Those things are pathetic. You've got to be able to get performance and mileage some other way. I've done brakes, rotors, starters, plugs, alternators, and other minor stuff on cars (can follow Haynes with no probs), but nothing for performance.
Does the Pontiac Vibe AWD have any issues?
For the record, I'd be extremely happy with 2-6mpg increase and 5-10 horse increase, but don't want to sacrifice one for the other.

How many gallons does a 1986 Buick Century hold?
From personal experience, I can tell you that a K&N filter will give you some improved gas mileage. I don't know if you'll see 2-6 mpg, but a dirty K&N flows better than a brand new paper filter.Why dose my moms 06 mustang pony package?
The tornado is useless! (also from personal experience). The tornado works well on carborated engines or engines that are not OBDII controlled. Don't waste your money on a chip (also relatively worthless).
I would also change over to synthetic lubricants, i.e. fully synthetic oil and tranny fluid if they are available.
What is the unladen weight of a 1999 Subaru Impreza Outback?
Change over to iridium spark plugs too if they are available for the 99 Accord. I use them in my Saturn. Never had a problem starting and I get better than average gas mileage with them.

I've done everything I've mentioned. EPA estimates for my Saturn are 23 and 28 MPG. Most folks actually get 20 and 25 MPG. In winter I get 25 to 31 MPG and in summer I get 23 to 29 MPG.
About how many pounds does a 1976 Ford F-100 weigh. Just plain stock.?
I'd put carbon metallic pads on the front, and slotted rotors. I wouldn't touch the exhaust. anything else is going to cost bookoo $$$ and isn't worth it in the long run.

What many people don't realise is that you have to re-tune your engine to synch with the newer chip. The better the tune up, the better your experience with a racing chip will be.

Which Vehicle should I choose?
Not much you can do to a car to improve its mpg, other then keeping up the maintenance and tire pressure. One key is to reduce weight, some people take the spare tire and jack equipment out of their trunks. However, even that won't give you more then .2 mpg improvement. If you want better mpg the best way is to buy a car with better ratings for fuel economy.A performance item not mentioned so far is the Unorthodox underdrive pulley, that will allow your engine to rev faster making it seem like you have more HP since it is now easier to access.
