Is there any way to improve my gas mileage w/ or without sacrificing horsepower and torque on my engine without the fake and lame addatives and other devices that claim they will help? I only get 20 miles per gallon with a honda but it is also a 2.0 engine. Thanx

Basica maintence

carbed engiens can be made to run leaner and retard down the timing a bit, you coudl push 30 mpg if you live in a flat area not lots of hills or pulling.

Basically maintence is the only way to increase it
or acceleratre slowly, lots are gimicks or not worht the money.
