1992 Chysler 5th Ave. w/ 3.3 V6

I was just told to run SEAFOAM through the gas.

Will a filter extension help the filter? (cold air)

All answers appreciated

The best way to get better fuel mileage is to change your driving habits. Do not accelerate hard, try to avoid stop and go traffic, do not speed on the highway, avoid idling your vehicle for longer then 2 minutes, etc.



To help your vehicle get better mileage, insure your tires are properly inflated, tire alignment should be checked, (believe it or not) get a oil change (less internal resistance in your motor).



Anyway you can get your engine to run better... the better the fuel mileage.



You can try the miracle in a can solutions... but I doubt it will pay off compared to the price of the miracle.

That's a big engine! There's not much you can do other than proper engine maintenance, tires inflated, and don't run the AC.

cold air induction wont help gas. if anything, it wil lmake it worse, especially on cold starting. cold air induction only benefits turbo cars with intercooler usually. or high performance cars

they mentioned everything except driving slower. if you keep your speed on the highway at 55MPH you will notice a BIG differance.
