Default HOW TO...get better gas milage

ok well i was thinking that if i keep my car and i do an engine swap it might be eather a svo turbocoupe engine swap or a 3.8L supercoupe(supercharged)...now if i did this it would get about 17/24 miles per gallon right...now what would be some things that i could do to the car to get better gas milage or should i get a 3.8L N/A and put performance into that because they get 20/27....so any comment on it

GREAT ADVICE!!!![sm=lame.gif] [sm=smiley21.gif]

I would PM HotRodsnBooze or matthockey. They are a couple of guys that have the shizz on V6 go go. matthockey has a cold-blooded V6 and HRnB has done a lot to one of his. They will drop the knowledge on yuze. [sm=smiley20.gif]
