Im not looking forward to the summer heat but last year i researched a small space DIY AC using a small ice box with a computer fan, fountain pump and ice water. Im going to ave to try something because it can suck here in LA in 100deg. stuck in traffic. |

Hope you're not paying for that "super" gas, because it's anything but super for our cars. Chances are you'll get lower mileage with high test gas, unless your car is tuned for it. Please, if you're going to lower your car, do a scientific test of its effect on mileage. Leave the car alone for three tanks or more to get a good steady baseline. Then cut the springs and don't make any changes for three or more tanks after. I don't think it's going to make much difference, but I've been wrong before, and would really like to know. |

In Charleston, SC we take vacations to Tennessee to escape the heat! FWIW, it will hit 70 degrees here tomorrow... |

I have always been told even by some of my buddies that work across the street from me at the auto repair shop to use Marvel mystery oil from time to time, because it helps to get rid of deposits in the engine which can contribute to poor engine performance and therefore poor gas mileage . Also I tried Zmax I think the performance and gas mileage improved somewhat. I have seen it advertised on many of those shows on speed so I think it's good. |

A good synthetic oil will not leave deposits. Use good oil and there is no need for cleaners. FWIW, running 2 or 3 quarts of auto tranny fluid in your engine will clean up things very nicely (of course, fill it the rest of the way up with oil). Let the car idle like this for 30 minutes and then drain, flush, and refill with synthetic. This is a Mazda (not sure if Chevy/Suzuki does it) factory approved method. |
