my 2002 hyundai accent hatchback
 
hello i've had this my accent for a couple of months now but due to it being cold i haven't gotten around to doing any mods/ tune ups til today. its a 2002 hyundai accent hatchback with spoiler, automatic 1.6l with 113k with me getting 30mpg with 70 degrees before doing anything.(my sis was the former owner so i have the history). My valve cover was leaking really bad so i replaced that along with my factory spark plugs and wires (the car has 113k, so yes that's 113k on copper spark plugs, the gaps were nearly double what they should have been) and put some new oil and filter along with new atf (all fluid was full synthetic Valvoline max life high mileage fluid (i love the stuff with my other car) also along with doing this the ac hasn't worked in this car for 2 years so i removed the pump and some of the lines to shave some weight and boost my mpg. Im hoping to see a really great gain and to keep doing stuff to boost the gain even more.

I think the next thing I do will probly be buy a scan gauge. Ive been prolonging the expense until i drove a car with a mpg gauge in it and I do have to say its fun to have to see if you can push your mpg in real time

Next on my list is replace the brake lights and licence plate lights with led bulbs.
