air up your tires a lil more. not 51 but like 48. are your tires and everything balanced? do you have an exhaust leak? how does the exhaust manifold gasket look? do u drive with your AC constantly on?

there are so many variables in this lol

I know my tires are defnintely not balanced lol I need to do that. I never use AC lmao...windows cracked all the way and my gf complains bc I never put the heat on. Rather spend $300 on my snowboard jacket to stay warm haha

as far as the balancing, does that make a difference???

if u just turn the temp dial all the way to the hottest setting and put it on 1 she should be fine. thats what i do anyways when my girl complains. and yes about balancing. every lil thing matters.

Nikkassss lets stay on topic lol. My **** gets fixed first haha :bash::bash::darryl:
And for those wondering about AC use and what not. Slow speeds...windows down. Fast speeds...ac is better as windows down would probably overcome its savings by the drag it'll introduce.

I was wondering, after all those tune ups you've done to your car, have you ever disconnected the battery to reset the ECU? Maybe your car would have to relearn all the settings especially after all the fixes you've performed. Also, what kind of gasoline do you pump? I would highly recommend just using what our car demands, which is 87 octane gasoline. I would also recommend pumping at a top tier gas station compared to the not so popular gas stations.

Here's a list of the top tier gas stations:

Personally, I've been pumping gas at 76 in my car and it's been running without any problems.

ECU has been reset numerous times. It gets 87 octane gas at mostly Shell and at times Esso.

I've heard that our cars aren't too mpg friendly with Shell gasoline. Have you tried anything else consistently for more than 1 full tank of gas?
