After checking out that dyno posting. I rarely take my 06 past 3K RPMs. I think it is cool how she doesn't need to, to keep up with traffic. Also the performance gains were small. I 6 cylinder would have given you better horses man.

 

what does CARB approved mean?

 

California Air Resourses Board, I believe. In other words, if it has that particular approval it will pass inspection anywhere in the U.S.

 

You may not appreciate it today . . .or tomorrow but, sometime in the next 18 mos fuel WILL climb to $3.50/4.50 a gal. You will love that 4 cyl and the gas milage it will give you.

That becomes VERY important when gas is rationed and you need to stretch EVERY gallon.

It just a matter of time.


Believe it or not.

 

please don't say that! ever since i went turbo, i've had to buy premium and lots of it! Oh well, I guess I still get better milage than a v8!

By the way, you have a very very nice car for your first car. I would learn to appreciate it in it's current form for a while before you start messing with it. If you reallly want more out of it though, start with a cai or a shortram or cat back exhaust. Oh yeah, 06'. hmmm. well cat back exhaust would be a good place to start untill more cai's are available.

My first car was a 95 caravan with no air and no a/c. And 0 points with the chicks. Consider yourself lucky

 

hey mbo if you turn UP the dial on your msd (the one inside your car) your gas mileage will go up quite a bit. less timing equals less hp and more fuel efficiency.

 

Im sure 20 years down the road it will be more expensive then that. But who knows, we might actually start using alternative fuel sources.

 

Yeah, that's actually a pretty good idea since the dial is right next to the radio. Then when I pull up next to a charger or something, I can just roll it back down.
