I have been running extremely rich lately and losing alot of fuel ecomony along with pops out the exhaust with some fuel related smoke out the pipe. Curious if the TPS sounds like its bad
Thank you

What's the best way, and what's the cost? The back trunk rattles when the bass set is turned up.

What's the best car I can get for the least amount of money? I live in the mountains, so four wheel drive is a must. I need good gas milegage and for the most part I don't care what it looks like.

Recently my friend and I were driving around and needed to fill up on gas. I was curious as to what Super Unleaded would do for my car and she said not to use it. She claimed that Super Unleaded is only for bigger trucks and will ruin my engine. Needless to say, I'm a little confused as I've heard that even though most cars can go on Unleaded, Super is just the Rolls Royce, if you will, of gasoline. I've heard it's better for your car but not mandatory to use in most cases and that using it wouldn't be detrimental. I have two different opinions and am curious to which one is correct...

On my 2002 Hyundai Elantra, I recently changed the air filter, engine oil/filter and transmission oil (manual). Only the air filter was DIY (FRAM filter). Afterwards, my MPG is down from 27 to 25 under same driving style (this seems small, but because the car automatically computes it, it's very noticeable). What could be the problem?

Hello and thanks for any help/tips I receive.

My question is how hard is it to install an exhaust (ie - Flowmaster) kit myself? I'm pretty handy with mechanical things...do you need regular tools and a jack or do you need special equipment? I'm looking at installing the exhaust kit into a 2003 Chevy S-10 Extreme. Is this something I should have a shop do? Or is this something a reasonably handy guy with extra time can do (me). Thanks for your opinions!

Installed this HU on a bmw e46. It works fine but on the radio u can hear some static . You can listen to the radio but this static on the background is very annoying. It was installed at an authorized car audio shop and the antenna is not the problem . I'm thinking it could be some settings that i need to do . Any ideeas ??

Like, I've been into the sports cars dealer showroom before.
Although feeling uninvited as I was penniless and looking like an "under-age", that feeling melted away when the sales-people still welcomed me in, and treated me equal to an aristocrat...

I received this in an e-mail:
Don't pump gas on May 15th ...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, we ask that all internet members not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in a lot of places.

There are 9,000,000+ American members currently on all the internet networks, and the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.

If all internet user members did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,700,000,000.00 (that 's BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the
Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
