new here, want to save gas!

[rocket]

Hey Y'all

I just bought my first econo-box, a '97 ford aspire 5spd. I get 36+mpg, but thats not good enough

I have 2 other vehicles:

1973 chevy elcamino 383 small block (not a gas saver, but FAST!!!)
2004 Toyota Tacoma TRD (all set up for wheeling, again, not a gas saver)

Hey rocket, welcome to the site.

Lots to search around & read up on, but the first thing I'd look into (if you haven't already), is getting a ScanGauge for your Aspire to start monitoring your fuel consumption more closely. That and start tracking the results in the garage.

What kind of driving do you do most?

Welcome to the site rocket. Definitly take a look at the stickies in the various forums. You have a car that is capable of very good mileage.

Welcome Rocket! My first tank on my present car was 33 mpg. Boy was I ticked. I started searching the internet for ways to save gas and ended up here. I should be getting at least 10 mpg better on the next tank. Keep reading!!
