High Gas Prices Keeping Your High-Performance Auto or Luxury SUV Parked? Automotive Performance Parts Can Increase Gas Mileage!

IRVINE, Calif., April 13 -- Recent gasoline price hikes are keeping high-performance autos and luxury SUVs parked. But consumers considering long summer road trips and even regional day trips remain unaware of proven ways to increase gas mileage for virtually every vehicle, from diminutive Mini Coopers to big Hummers and luxury SUVs.

Drivers need only look to an automotive & truck performance parts center online to find after-market auto parts that increase gas mileage, enhance performance and extend engine life. From an $18 high flow air filter to a $100 low restriction muffler to a $600 performance exhaust system, knowledgeable automotive consumers can meet their budget by purchasing mileage-enhancing performance parts online and easily install them at home.

"Just a simple air filter upgrade can result in a noticeable increase in gas mileage, and with increasing pump prices, drivers need every advantage," said Tony Savasta, president of Performance Center Wholesale, an Irvine, California-based auto parts distributor. "Installing better-performing aftermarket parts like air management systems, high-performance computer programmers or performance exhaust systems can cumulatively increase gas mileage by as much as 15 percent, and remain in full compliance with vehicle warranties."

Performance Center Wholesale recommends the following upgrade components for improving mileage and performance at http://www.performancecenter.com/.

   -- High Performance Air Filter* ($19+) flow up to twice the air of
      factory air filters, so the engine is properly aspirated and burns
      fuel more efficiently.
   
   -- High Performance Throttle Body Spacer* ($89-$100) increases air
   volume passing through the intake manifold, ensuring peak engine
   efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.
   
   -- High Performance Electric Cooling Fan* ($69+) Most older cooling fans
   are belt-driven off the drive shaft; creating power loss similar to
   an air conditioner's power drain.  An electric fan plugs into the
   electrical system instead, restoring power to the engine and
   increasing fuel economy.
   
   -- High Performance Exhaust System ($80-$600) helps spent gases escape
   more efficiently, with less engine strain.
   
   -- High Performance Cold Air Intake* ($100-$300) Cooler air contains
   more oxygen, which burns gas more efficiently.
   
   -- High Performance Computer Chip/Programmer* ($229+) Car engines are
   factory-set to run "rich," using more fuel. Performance computer
   chips lean out the fuel-air mix, giving drivers optimum mileage.
   
   * Selected components can easily be installed by most vehicle owners.

Always consult with an automotive expert to ensure you are purchasing the right parts for the vehicle.
