Any suggestions for increasing mpg?
 
Just wondering if anyone is getting really good MPG. I currently have a 95 turbo manual 850. A fill up usually cost about $ 70.00 Premium and I get about 380 KM at most from top to bottom, it includes highway and city driving. I"m thinking about changing my fuel filter. I've done spark plugs the typical tune up. Anyone got any suggestions as well getting better mileage than me?

Cheers!:D

If you're due for a fuel filter or don't know when it was done last by all means change it out. When they get plugged with crud they will leave you stranded at worst or at best with a poor running engine unable to keep up freeway speeds as it's starving for fuel. It will not help your gas mileage though.
Purchasing newer tires designed for mileage improvements and insuring that you always have them at the proper pressure or a pound or two more will help mileage but other than paying for someone to remap your ECM all the other things are very minor.
