    I have a 2000 GP GT. I just bought a Fuel Max performance chip but haven't put it in yet. Anything else I could do with keeping the $$$$ down?

    that performance chip wont do anything. just leave it off.

    best way to get good gas mileage is to keep your foot off the gas.

    x2 leave your foot off the gas. CAI and open up the exhuast will help a bit.

    Cold air intake won't help any. But A hot air intake will. By the way I sent you're valve springs today.

    well less restrictive filter will help but really cold air doesnt because it is more dense then hot air like no one new that. anyways pcm adds more fuel to keep air fuel mix right on. more power but less mpgs
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    the more air flow you can get to your engine and out of it the better...it wont have to work as hard. So I agree with everyone..CAI and exhaust will help some. lol and keep your foot out of it.

    Hate to sound like an echo, but ease of the accelerator. I took a trip this past weekend, about 165 miles. I used a half a tank on the way down driving 90 mph because it was nice out. I only used a quarter of tank to get back driving 70 mph because it was crappy out.
