Ok guys...lets all settle down. I feel like Rodney King right now. "can we all just get along". I am totally joking right now...so please don't take it any other way.
I bought a large gas guzzling SUV that everyone in the world despises Americans for buying. I was well aware of the MPG ratings. I know how much gas costs. Even if I don't save any miles, I will still drive this car and enjoy it.
But if there is any easy thing to do (aside from maintaining your car, inflating the tires correctly, etc) that is not too expensive to get the MOST out of the car. Then why not ask about it.
I mean, I probably could spend 100k and put some sort of electric hybrid motor in this and really save gas. But thats not the point of this thread.
Most of the threads that talk about an easy gain in performance are air intake systems. But most of the threads talk about HP or making the car sound a different way (more throaty). I am only concerned with the gas milage aspect and other people must be too as all the intake manufacturers advertise the increased mileage. I am just asking about some real world experience as it seems like its a lot easier to measure MPG gains vs HP gains, yet most of the threads talk about those other things.
I'll try and loose some weight too. That way the Sequoia will be more efficent as the Big *** factor will be reduced!
