Just got my vibe

Hey ya'll. Just got rid of my 1995 Dodge Caravan cargo van and got an 04 Vibe base. Gonna make it pretty, and stuff it full of stereo, but no go fast goodies in store. Got a 60 mile one way to work commute, and hoping the 33 MPG helps me out. Any ideas, sites, or pics on cosmetic mods for these things? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.UndaCuva

a simple CAI would help with gas mileage.

Welcome, I got the vibe for its utility and economy. I town I am getting 30 mpg, and on the highway I am getting round 35, so you should be able to meet your goal.

What does CAI stand for, and exactly how does it increase mileage?A quick search showed it looks to be a replacement air filter assembly. (The whole air intake system....?)Of course, there are some computer sensors in the intake assembly; I assume(?) a replacement air intake system would have the fittings for them(?)The factory air filter has quite a large area, and as my Vibe has all of about 1700 miles on it, the air filter is still virtually new looking.If an aftermarket item which isn't too expensive can substantially increase gas mileage, I'd be interested in it.

It stands for Cold Air Induction. Basically it frees up the inlet for air consumption. which gives a little more horsies and mpg's

you can find a CAI on ebay for less than 70$.(hint - try looking for matrix as well as for vibe)
