    Protege Gas Mileage Thread

    I just started using ferox, 250 miles so far and the gauge is reading about half (which probably means I have used 60% of the 13 gallon tank). I will do a couple of tanks to see if there is any real difference.

    Pulstar plugs

    chickened out So, I put the long reach plugs in, because I couldn't find the pulsars in long reach form and spending $10 on something that has gotten great reviews here felt more comfortable than spending $ 100 (eyeballs) on an unknown. The long reach plugs helped the ol' girl out down low for...

    Pulstar plugs

    I was thinking about putting in Pulstar long reach spark plugs in the 'ol 2002. Anybody have any thoughts or experience with these plugs? This would be a double conversion (pulse plugs and long reach, which have gotten positive reviews here).

    Transmission Upgrade

    Where did you get that done for the Jetta? I am close enough to Portland to make the trip if I can get that kind of deal! Even at $1000 I would like to get that done once I get my turbo (eventually) in.

    Dedicated to improving gas millage, by any means!

    How much do these tranny mods cost? I dream if a 6 speed manual with a hugely tall 6th (2200 rpm at 75 would be cool) and the rest of the ratios just like my stock LX, which I feel are ridiculously short. Does anyone know what this kind of thing would run. I already went through the tranny...

    also, i added some "octane booster" from STP. this car has almost 36,000 kms on it and i don't know if it has ever had any treatments or anything. honestly, i had a hard time deciding which to buy - fuel treatment, octane boost or the other one. Actually, unless you are knocking, octane...

    Trunk Leak Leads to Serious Funk

    I didn't experience any funk, but the first time I went to get my jack out of the trunk (I bought the car with 80k mi.) it was all rusted out. I knocked most of it loose, but it still was a pain to jack a car up with a rusted out jack.

    AEM Filter

    somewhat unrelated I was just wondering how much the AEM SRI affected sound levels and gas mileage. I hear its better on gas than a CAI. I'm just getting started here.

    Dedicated to improving gas millage, by any means!

    about 30-33 mpg bone stock (except for the custom dent job) I do almost all of my driving in town getting about 30-33 mpg, depending on my mood and the weather. I usually shift at different points for different gears: to 2nd ~2800, 3rd~2700, 4th and 5th ~2500. In the winter I usually lower all...
