I noticed when I had a 74 carrera 2.7 that at about 1/4 tank I'd get more H.P.'s and now that I have a 75 1.8 914 I get the same thing way better throttle response??? I doubt it's due to weight...any ideas?

Let's face it. There are no quick fixes to milage or performance. You have to use the gas magments if you want significant increases.

I hear the latest is to rub pickle juice on your tires to get more miles out of them. It is an incredible use for something that goes to the sink in most cases. The tire companies don't want you to know that. In fact they will probably buy this website and shut it down to keep this information under wraps... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

Please make him stop. As for the pickle juice on the tires, I always save my spare change to purchase high-grade Dill Pickle juice, the best there is!! I call it my Dill Dough...
