the_Czech asked: I’ve heard that alum-alloy wheels give you better gas mileage than steel because they’re lighter. Makes sense, but I’m wondering if anyone has switched from steel to alloy and had it make enough of a gas mileage difference for them to notice it. Wondering whether the gas money I’ll save over time is anywhere comparable to the cost of buying new wheels.

Steven R asked: Yet the Civic rating states it gets better gas mileage then the Focus?
Again as I said before I drove a Civic from California to Oregon the same way I drove the Focus and got so much worse gas mileage then the Focus when I drove it down to California. Both are 2007 and brand new. Driving habits were the same.
Oops I thought I had said that. It’s the same road with the same hills and downhills. Nope the Civic gets either 30/40 or 30/38 depending on the model where the focus I drove down was 27/34

Goofy asked: My old soccer coach has a Hummer. He was telling me how he was going to put a turbo on it. He said by doing this he would get more HP and better gas mileage. I asked him to explain how that is possible. He told me by slamming more air into the pistons the fuel burns cleaner and explodes better. So it increases efficiency with a boost of power. Is this possible?

joshy asked: My Truck has 118,000 miles on it and it is in excellent mechanical condition. I just want to try to get better gas mileage since gas is $3.85 a gallon were I live. My truck is not a everyday driver. Would changing to a better oil help? Maybe a Synthetic or blend.
