How to Improve Fuel Economy and Increase MPG on your Gas Guzzler

With size, comes safety.  But also having that big SUV, truck, or big body big engine car can eat away at your wallet.  Poor miles per gallon (MPG) will have you frustrated as you keep spending more and more at the pump.  With good weather comes traveling and to help you maximize your cars efficiency and help save you money, Vivid Racing has created these special VR MPG Packages for your vehicle.

If you drive approximately 400 miles a week and you are getting 10-15MPG, a typical 20 gallon gas tank means you are spending about $100 per week in fuel for your car.  If could gain even 2MPG that would save you about $15 per week or over $700 a year!  Now these are just rough figures but the savings are possible.  The best way to improve gas mileage is by helping your car or truck breathe better.  The factory disposable air filter is great for what it does, but they alone clog up quickly and cost money each time you replace it.  A free flowing performance air intake will not only give your car more air flow, it helps the engine work more easy by not having to strain to pull air flow in.  More air in, means a happy engine and better fuel economy.  Vivid Racing uses and recommends K&N Air Intakes to improve MPG because of the quality of the product and their warranty.  Some of our MPG kits may also use aFe air intakes.  aFe also produces, tests, and provides an incredible product for your truck or car.  With the air intake as the first step to better fuel economy, your goal to energy efficiency should not stop there.

You might not think an exhaust system can improve your gas mileage, but it can!  A stock exhaust is very restrictive with its skinny pipes, sharp bends, and sound dampened muffler.  This constricts exhaust gases coming out of the engine building up back pressure which makes your engine work just as hard to push them out.  Aftermarket exhausts have larger diameter piping, smoother mandrel bends for better flow, and less restrictive mufflers.  The exhaust system will add a deeper sound to your vehicle, but ultimately, it is allowing your vehicle to work more efficiently from the engine.  As long as you are not hot rodding around, expect to see your vehicle give you some extra love in the MPG department.  Packages will uses exhaust systems from aFe, Agency Power, Borla, and others, that offer amazing quality, great fitment, and a solid warranty.

Both of these products will also add to your vehicles performance with a noticeable difference in response and drivability.  If you are using a vehicle to tow your race car trailer, those hill climbs will go by much easier with these parts installed as well.  The recommend products are packaged together for the best gain in MPG, however you can run purchase them separately from our site if you choose.  The products are designed for the specified vehicle and are bolt on systems as replacements for your OEM parts.  Each vehicle will have which product manufacture it will use in the dropdown.  If you have any questions in regards to the workings, warranty, or functions of the products, please contact us.
