hello everybody!
I have find this website a month ago and I started to adjust my daily drive to be more economical. I currently have a Pontiac Pursuit (G5) 2006 with the 2.2l. This is the first vehicle that I really care about the fuel consumption.

I already started to change my Pursuit: grill block and change rear spoiler. next panel is the underbody, the rear wheel well skirt, front wheel and rear spoiler and tailboating and maybe a deflector for the windshield wipers.

Welcome to the site.

It sounds like you're off to a good start. What kind of mileage are you getting with the car?

During the summer, I had an average of 36 MPH with my best is 42 MPH on a long trip. But since the temperature drops with the aproach of winter, my consumption is growing much, I did 32 MPH on my last Fuel tank.

I just realized that I calculated in imperial gallons. I feel like I made a big step backwards.
