Improve the Gas Mileage in a Scion xB

This article will explain several ways that you can improve the gas mileage in your Scion xB.

Steps

  1. Drive slower. The lower you keep your RPM's the less work your engine has to do resulting in less fuel consumption.
  2. Install an upgraded air intake. The easier it is for your car to get air into the engine the higher its efficiency will be and that will result in higher gas mileage.
  3. Keep up with engine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotation, etc.
  4. Go green and swap the engine over to a bio-diesel. It will cost more money but it may "save the planet" one day.
  5. Buy the 04-06 scion xB rather then the newer ones. The newer engines are a lot bigger and although they have more horsepower the mpg has suffered tremendously.

Warnings

  • When installing after market parts it may void car warranty. Always check before installing something to the engine.
