Mileage ?
With gas getting high and me driving 60 miles a day for work, was wondering what I can do to get better mileage.
I just ordered a set of headers and was wondering what else I could do?
TIA

Anything that can improve power should improve your mpg as long as you drive it properly.
As stated above, check your tire pressures and reset your DIC if you are using that to gauge your fuel economy.
On the highway, I get over 500 miles to a tank in my '95 six speed.
You have to find the right rpm, you don't want it too low and lug the engine, nor do you want it too high.
Usually around the 2000 rpm mark is where I've got the best mpg.
