Hello everyone.

I'm new here! I'm Roman from Holland and came here throu a link on a dutch tuning site for Suzuki's. So my English sometimes like a little bit on Engrisch

Now the days fuel is very expencive. I pay 1.52 euro a liter (when my excel skills are right that would be 8.8 dollar for a gallon, while 1 euro is 1.515 Dollar). So i read a lot of things to do to make my car cheaper. Like Aero modding, WAI and so on.

I own a Suzuki Swift GL 1liter from 1992. (pics will follow). I bought it a year ago for 200 euro (303 Dollar). First when i had it i was disapointed doing only 34 MPG. Now i do better, 43 MPG. But i want more. I would like to reach te 50 MPG next. And im here for some help and indeas.

What i already have done is a little modification whit the air intake, still testing what is better. WAI or CAI. Last week i changed my ignition timing, but i think it's to early now. And i use Aceton as and add to the fuel, giving 10% (from 39MPG to 43MPG).

First i want some engine mods, later on i want some Aero mods.
