Currently studying chemistry, I've also done mechanical cad and some other uses of science and engineering.

Updating proven data I'll find where esle to post to get better advice then fix the nut behind the wheel. But, minus some other needed work I've gotten a 96 saab 900s with 224k miles to almost~34-35mpg hwy and ~31-32mpg mixed. EPA rating for the car is 27 hwy 20 mixed, thats ~10mpg overall on a 2.3L 4cyl w/ 5mt. If it was easier to hypermile around here I could probably break 40mpg hwy, but it's not. I have no budget so can't afford to throw to much into a pos, needs new timing guides and valve and sump cleaned and exhaust leaks, oh and desperatly needs a supsension (easliy hit 40 w/ some to hold the car down). curb weight is 2990lbs, I may have lost 250 +/-20lbs, in strong gust the car feels like a bouncy kids toy, same for bumps. Anyway also have a subaru wrx with 165k and it gets 31 with some spirited driving mixed in but too much and it's more like 18. Really hope to find some new improvements that aren't out of pocket and sensible proven suggests towards modifying a vehicle for better gas mileage (Not the driver, though it does help).
