k&n air filter helps, maybe a short ram intake. Problem is, if you want more power and acceleration, you are usually going to sacrifice gas mileage. Other then that, makeing sure your plugs are in good shape and that your injectors are clean I don't know of a whole lot that will improve gas mileage and give you more power.

Gay *** suggestion coming up...right about...now:

Get a lighter foot! No, seriously. You can't look for performance and acceleration and ask about getting better gas mileage. The two don't go hand in hand. You either want to make it faster...or you slow down and baby it which in turn should get you better gas mileage (and also follow kang's advice). You could also try the goofy tornado thingy. I'm just a little funny about having objects in front of my air filter that could go flying into my throttle body (if it came apart somehow).

Coming off being in the ricer community for a few years, I for one know that you can't have performance and good gas milage. Like mentioned above, the two do not go hand in hand at all. It's like if George Bush was President... oh wait [sm=joke.gif]... but not really kidding.

Anyways, good luck trying to find a good solution!

i just got an 01 rt and one timed it from florida to middle tennessee on a tank. 460 miles. the gas needle was about to break off so i got gas and could only fit 15.4 gallons into the 16.3 gallon tank. ive heard its not good to run that low on fuel but i wanted to keep going, like that seinfield episode. almost 30 mpg. not bad for a car that runs that well. what kind of fuel mileage are you getting?
