I've talked to my transmission rebuilder friend about the coasting in N in an auto, and he says that the pump will still provide enough fluid/pressure to get keep things ok in a coasting type situation. On every car I've ever driven, you had to push the button in to shift into R from N so it's not like it could just slip. Not all vehicles have buttons on there gear selectors though

Except for American V8's. Injectors are used at 100%, 100% of the time. Its just the american way

I feel ya. I want those as well but don't know if I have the funds. I really need to work on the Horn/10" setup for my buds house for parties and rock band instead. The BIB's just can't handle the drum line at higher voumes. I'm real cluless though on Horns.

I don't know though. That would be awesome if I'm capable of more. I've never driven a standard daily before so MPG could improve with my skills. But the car is really up on maintanence (or so it seems) I might throw in some new plugs, wires and such and see if I gain anything

SL2's get the lowest MPG's of any of the Saturns of that year model. Same size engine but 25 more HP

Ok, so now that I have an indication of my gas mileage and such for the saturn I have put together some numbers.... Constants Gas - $4.00 Z71 - 16 MPG SL2 - 29 MPG I average around 430 miles per week. (Drivng to and from work, driving to Baytown or else where on the weekends and Leisure travel) for the Z71 and SL2 that is 26.875 Gal and 14.333 Gallons respectively and $107.50/wk and $57.33/wk The difference comes out to about a $200 Saving per week and $2400/yr Ok so we need subtract cost of ownership $2400 -$120 (for oil changes) -$300 (Tires) -$150 (Repair and misc) -$90 (emissions and registration) (I think this is higher than what it really cost) =$1740 Now Subtract the cost of the car... -$1400 -$124 (TT&L) =$216 So in one year I am already ahead by $216 and the cost of tires is not a yearly occurrence and neither is the cost of the vehicle. Depreciation is not worth mentioning because the car is worth more than I bought it for and will be in the future with gas the way it is Insurance is not worth mentioning either because we dropped another vehicle for this one and the Saturn is cheaper. So in the next few years I should be saving quite a bit of money

From http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=7714 post #2 I don't know how true it is but atleast they attempted a scientifical approach. People on FSC still refuse to believe it...

that is, of course, if the stock internals could handle something like that

Don't get me started on forced induction. With some tuning skills it would be so easy to turbocharge the Saturn

Been out in the plant this afternoon. holy cow friggen hot out there. Standing next to a 1800* reformer doesn't help to much either

He has the 1.8. My saturn is a 1.8 as well (I know there different just saying they are the same size). I'd love to be able to see a solid 30. EPA rates it from 32-34.

Discussion over at FSC about the Coasting in N One guy said its better to coast in D I posted my findings disproving his theory He tells me not to believe everything I read on the internet. Then why should I believe you Fucktard! Atleast what I posted had some kind of experimental basis and not just a statement

Some People.... are completely fucking retarted...

I found that caosting in N is much more effective than coasting in D, atleast in the case of my truck

Got 29 MPG's in the Saturn! thats more than my new truck and old truck combined. Hopefully I can squeeze some more out of it. Possibly a little tune up. My buddy told me he gets 36MPG out of his Sentra. Said he did a couple things and messed with the duty cycle on the injectors. Got to see if I can poke some more info out of him

for Kicker for sure. I sent them an email asking about those set screws and they are going to send me some free of charge. Definitely not something I expected out of a big company like them

isn't that from chocolate covered starfish and hotdog flavored water. Its a song by Bloodhound Gang

can't believe I forgot it was from Office Space. I feel so Ashamed

THE T0PPAGE!

yes THE 5.3

Kind of Curious what I will run as well. Probably really slow given the Torque management and lack of tune. Sometimes its really slow off the line

What movie did that come from?
