On a 3.3 ltr V6 Chrysler Voyager (unknown epa rating) I did the following:
Lighter 17" rims with same diameter and width tires as original / $800....tires were shot and I just plain wanted the good looks. This picked up right at 1 mpg to now get 21 compared to 20.
Replaced the air filter element with three layers of screen wire mesh / cost near 0....one more mpg to get 22.
Removed all the clutter from the interior that was not needed and removed the last bench seat / cost 0.....one more mpg for 23.
That still stank so we traded it for a Scion Xb that gets 36 on the hiway at 65-70!
