  1. My vision complete. Got this 2002 Sunfire last fall. It has 145,ooo km  It had a bit of rust around the gas filler like they all do, and also had some rust at the antenna. I decided to do away with the antenna completely. I just have it in the trunk and it works fine. So instead of just painting that panel the original colour. I came up with this sceam. The stripes on the front are from what I had seen on a corvette at a car show, I also did highlights on the inside, and put in a nice stereo system, complete with sub .  What do you all think?

    One bit of advice that may or may not help minimally with mpg, but well definitely help wth performance and continued maintenance of the fuel/induction system is to use a fuel additive that has PEA (polyether amine)in it such as Regain by Gumout. PEA is the highest end fuel additive there is and will cleanup many deposits and varnish that other additives won’t. All fuel injected engines suffer from the same issue which is that no fuel flows past certain components. Port injection is a problem, but DIC is the worst as it gets no fuel to the back of the intake valves. Either way deposits and varnish buildup is a problem in fuel injection systems. I can tell you factually that PEA works as I spent three years developing systems to deliver it for OEM use for warranty issues as well as a advisory role in the development of the chemistry.

    well, I got me some of this. Hopefully it helps

    Based on that you are averaging about 19-22 mpg.  Unless you are idling your car constantly then you mileage is way low.  The first place I would look at are your O2 sensors as worn ones might not throw a code but would richen up the fuel.

    Thanks ☺

  3. Thanks guys. Just got this car a few months ago, so far, seems like an awesome car. Have to fix up some rust issue's once spring time comes. Also going to modify the look a bit B) I just wish it would get better gas milage. LUV the front end of these car's .
