Yea my tires fukked up…went to get an alignment they told me they couldn’t do it because I needed new tires
I went to get new tires and alignment but they couldn't do the alignment because the bushings are torn. Check on them too.

Buy a motorcycle :mjgrin:


Don't know what kind of car you have, but general tune up items can help improve/restore gas mileage

New spark plugs and wires
New distributor cap and rotor
New fuel filter
New air filter
New fuel pump
New/refurbished fuel injectors
Check for any vacuum leaks and fix them
Clean mass air flow sensor with MAF cleaner

Driving style impacts efficiency too. Driving slower and smoother is better for fuel economy.

shiiit on summer Sundays im filling up at a minimum 2 times ...premium 2 :russ:

Put the whip in eco mode. It will accelerate slower but save gas.

Let off the damn gas pedal if you know you’re coming to red lights, traffic, stop signs, etc. Like, why the fukk do people go 45mph to a stop sign when they clearly know they will have to stop? You’re killing gas and brakes. Just coast to the muthafukka…

When going downhill, let off the gas. Gravity will do the work for you.

Pick up speed well before going up a hill so that you don’t have to hit the gas as hard to get you up the hill. You use less gas speeding up on a flat surface than trying to pick up speed on a hill

Nowadays, don’t ever listen to somebody that thinks that using the A/C lowers your gas mileage. You use more gas with the windows down because of all the wind pushing back on your car.

I love physics/math so these are the things I think about when I’m bored in a car. It’s wild that if I drive the Elantra for a week it will sit at about 38-40mpg but let my wife drive it for the week…that shyt stay at like 28-30mpg; because we have totally different driving styles

IDK about that one ....gas n breaks cheaper n easier than an engine lol

The engine is gonna get messed up because you stop accelerating? Wouldn’t the engine get messed up faster from speeding it up then making it bog down fast as hell because you were going 45 then slamming on your brakes 100ft from the stop sign? Not only the engine, but I’d think that’s a great way to kill your transmission too.

Bruh…I’ve had at least 10 vehicles in my life and never once needed an engine or any major engine work.

OP you drive a damn maxima, idk what you’re expecting. V6 engine + premium gas + high gas prices you gonna be paying more. You gotta drive like a granny, no hard accelerations ever. Besides that it ain’t much you can do with a car that was designed to get 19 city/26 hwy.
