    Snow performance

    I have heard of Snow Performance, coming from the Mustang world. They are big with guys that have "Terminators"(03-04 Mustang Cobras), Shelbys, etc. I would imagine that they are popular with other forms of FI domestics as well, and possibly the EVO/STi crowd. They have received a warm welcome...

    Just a thought....

    To play the devil's advocate, I read an article that supports something like this several years back. It concerned accelerating a gasser at about 3/4 throttle and revving to about 3.5-4k(give or take, depending on the engine) to get up to speed and then driving in the highest gear possible at...

    2012 DSG tricks for better mpg?

    Oh, and my tires are wider than stock(MORE rolling resistance) 215/60-15's inflated at merely 32psi. They are wearing perfectly normally and I'm still getting good mileage. Over 80 tanks and my average is 45MPG. I'm due for new tires and I'll be going back to stock 195/65-15's. I expect 50 MPG...
