What mods have improved your mpg?

[e30jake]

Maybe this thread will be a complete failure, but whatever. I, like many r3v members, am a broke college student who blows money on my cars instead of things that could probably be more useful. I'm fine with that. Anything that will help pay for itself in the long run though is definitely helpful though, or even anything that left your mpg unchanged. Have at it.

the lead foot mod doesn't help

O2 Sensor, big time. Cat, good exhaust. Refurb'd AFM/MAF http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...83#post3152483

You have the most effect on your gas mileage.

02 sensor since you can just buy one for <$40 / splice the wires and it has probably never been replaced on your car.

The diff and driver make a big difference. A taller diff can help your mileage decently. If it's your early 318i, a mid-low 3.XX diff could improve your mileage.

diff and turbo, believe it or not. Though the turbo also involved a wideband, which I think allows my tune to be a bit leaner at cruise than stock.

I'm more interested in this for my IX right now actually since I'll be leaving for school in a month and probably taking it with me. As far as my 318i though, the diff is the least of that things problems right now

I have heard people say they got better mpg with an m30 afm or miller maf and bigger injectors... anyone have before and after numbers or estimates on this?

weight reduction.

Getting older mod, and moving to somewhere where I don't use freeways more than a few times a year mod.

lots and lots of stickers makes any and all cars faster

You want to spend $$$ so you can get a few MPGs more. How long will you need to drive to make the initial investment back and then start saving money?

The first post did not include the word "fast" anywhere within
