@Insight: you're right, the 4cyl uses a lot less gas. I am trying to see if it is viable to mod my car up to a high 20s range, however.
@Metro: Heh, read my mind. . I'd rather keep the car (it's driving well since I've owned it
), there's no real reason to trade it in other than the low FE. I was hoping to boost the MPG by around 5 or so, somehow. . So I could have better MPG, but V6 acceleration when I want it
Power Steering: I was afraid of how heavy the steering would be. I was hoping there was another reason no one did this on Camrys.
Hi-flo cat and exhaust: I realize this one is a gamble. I've googled it a bit and see that some people benefit in terms of MPG while others don't. The reasons why are unknown to me.
Manual: yes, the 4spd auto is definitely an FE bog but you're right, for $2500 another more fuel efficient vehicle starts to makes sense.
AC delete: true.
Well, looks like I've got to think of other ways. .
