My gas mileage is low and I'm trying to figure out what it could be. I read that cleaning the throttle body could help with mpg and a way to diagnose it is by monitoring the idle rpm. I thought it...

I can't find the exact idle rpm for my Boxster S 3.2L. Does anyone know what the spec is? I might be having some trouble with the idle rpm. I used an OBD2 adapter to read the rpm when the engine was...

Nankang, Sumitomo, Nexen and other inexpensive tires

I'll look into the MAF sensor. I think my spark plugs should be ok, I just bought my car a few weeks ago with 78k miles. It passed the SMOG a couple months ago so it could be fine. I'll probably...

I got 16 for sure. I'll be refueling and calculating again in a couple days.



I drive mostly on the freeway though. I should at least get 20 mpg.

That's how I've been driving, I'm a little confused. Do you have the base model or an S? Wouldn't the rpm and shifting change?

According to the manual you aren't supposed to warm up ur car idle. It says to drive the car immediately after start and don't go over like 4.5k rpm for first 5 minutes.

Thanks. I hope to get the IMS and clutch replaced as soon as I have the money. I had a mechanic tell me a LN and the pelican parts bearing both failed on him. I don't think I believe him lol.

I guess I'll use some injector cleaner, fill up the tank with chevron a couple of times, and replace the spark plugs. I hope this takes care of it.

Sorry I messed up on the quote thing and had to fix it. Wouldn't 4.5k burn more fuel not helping with mpg?

Lol I don't have 93 in my area and I think CA it doesn't go over 91. It shouldn't matter though because the engine has the octane knock sensor thing right?

No gas smell and no leaks. I probably would've noticed it when I changed the oil. The engine light is also fine. Are you asking why I'm shifting at 3.2k? What is cats? Not sure I've heard that before.
