Gas is up to about $3.50 in NY. Anybody got ideas about how to make the LS a little less thirsty at the pump?

Make sure tire pressures are per the sticker in the door jamb, make sure air filter is clean, make sure plugs and coils are all firing fine, and keep rpms to 2k or less (V8) at all times when possible. That will help as much as can be expected.

After Torrie did my tune my mileage went up to about 26 miles per gallon. I live in the Florida keys, so all of my driving is on flat land. Before the tune I was getting about 23MPG. I am an agressive sriver also--no deliberate babying/fuel saving driving here.

Would be more fun to drive the car into a canal anyways.
