Getting 50mpg in your car

Here are techniques to get 50mpg in a regular car.

I can add a few.

A) Change your air filter.
B) New spark plugs
C) High mpg tires
D) Lower vehicle height to reduce drag
E) High Octane Fuel

My miles per gallon doubled when using expensive premium. Do the test in your car. To boost octane you can add ethanol or E85 to your regular fuel. Ethanol has an octane rating of 117 compared with 87 for regular so you do not need a lot. About 92 is the magic number for me.

New engines to prevent knocking will spark the chamber before it is a full compression this wastes gasoline. By boosting octane you can boost compression and increase power.

A hot engine boosts your compression so keep the car in a warm place like the garage rather than outside.
