    Newbie help

    Hey guys I wanna ask, what good engine would fit an 8g Galant? I need one that uses up less gas than the stock engine. Thanks a lot guys. Just don't think I can keep up with fuel prices these days and my daily allowance form my parents :/

    ...or slow down, as little as 10 mph under what you usually drive will yield big gains, I know this from experience. Are you 4-cyl or V6? The V6 is a little thirsty (and requires premium), but the 4-cyl can do pretty good if you slow it down, I've had both.

    if you have allowance money for an engine swap, you have enough allowance money for gas.

    Webhosting for less than $3 a month? put "pinoyesv6" as a promo code.

    Drat... This guy hasn't even bothered checking back, he was probably bored and decided to ask this question, knowing hes never gonna do such a swap.

    Pissed with the answers!?

    Even though this was a foolish post you still received good advice to increase your mpgs with what you have from Greg (wetamup2k3g). When the i4 8G is up to date on maintenance and is driven with ease it actually gets good numbers considering its age and size.
