It really depends on your model of Corvette. My experience is with C4's (1984 - 1996), specifically my 1988 35th Anniversary. When I purchased this car I was getting 10.8 - 11.2 mpg in the city and about 15 mpg highway.
Current Modifications are...
- Replaced stock filter with K&N Filter
- Replaced Stock power Coupler with Aftermarket (Rippled to Smooth)
- Installed Airfoil on Throttlebody Intake
- Installed Air Intake Temperature Sensor Relocation Kit (Pre 1989)
My fuel logs for last year of driving (1300 miles) shows that I am getting 16.3 mpg city and up to 25 mpg highway (@60 MPH, flat), 22 MPG Average Highway
I have not changed the Chip, Plugs, Wires, or any other modifications.
Other modifications I plan that will also increase MPG is
- Port/Polish Intake Runners
- Performance High Flow Injectors
- Performance Mass Airflow Sensor (Adjustable)
- Performance Fuel Regulator (Adjust fuel rate)
- Quad Titanium Spark Plugs
- Upgrade all Pullys to Aluminum with better ratio
All this will give you easily about another 100 HP, keep your foot out of it and you can tack on about another 10% MPG increase
Why might the headlights on a car not go down?
When trouble shooting any problem relating to a car you should always start at the simplest of steps. My first thought would be that the motor burned out and you need to replace it, but maybe its not. Cars are very easy to figure out, its getting to those hard to reach areas is the problem. start out by checking the fuse, check to see if its burned out, and needs to be replaced next, check too see if there is a physical block has something got in the way of them being able to close, next check too see if the motoring , and tracking of the system looks good, has one of the inner control arms broken or have you lost a nut or bolt, compare each side with each other to see if there is any differences., This may sound silly but disconnect the battery, maybe the computer forgot to run the signal to rhe motor, by doing this you may reset the computer, if you are mechanically inclined you may be able to figure it out very easily if your not maybe its time to visit your local repair person, good luck.
Yes it can, very easy to do, have to order a new latch from the dealer, just tell them it's the latch that locks the top down, and which side it's on. Hope this helps.

How do you bypass the ABS on a 1994 GMC Jimmy?
Why would you want to do this? ABS have saved me more than once. Practice using them and leave them alone. They are a great safety feature. If you do not think so then all I can say is that you are dead wrong and I will not help you disable your ABS. ABS allows you to keep control while under full braking and still be able to steer around trouble. On the other hand if your ABS has failed and is not working properly, then you still have regular braking ability and there is no need to try and bypass the system.
The EHCU can malfunction and cause brakes to go out, replacement is $1300. Or you can bypass the EHCU and save money. The EHCU has 2 lines going into it and 3 out. The 2 "in" are from the combination valve, 1 for rear system and 1 for front system. The 3 "out" are split into 1 for rear brakes and 2 for front brakes. For the rear system, all you have to do is connect the rear out from the combination valve to the line that once connected to the EHCU for rear brakes. Front system. From the front out on the combination valve, install a T in the line. The 2 ends of the T connect to the lines that used to go to the EHCU for front brakes.

How do you replace a headlamp on a 2001 or 2005 Outback?
Immediately behind the headlamp housing you should find a large (3 or 4 inch diameter, I'd guess) screw off cap. Once this is removed, you'll find that the bulb itself is very small and minimal. It is held in place by a clip. When the clip is undone, the bulb can be removed very easily, there is nothing else holding it in place. Putting the new bulb in is not difficult because it should have a flat side on its base which keys it to the slot. Re-apply the clip, screw on the cover, and you're done. If you have trouble (and a manual), the manual is actually quite helpful. (I was surprised by it.)
