How to Increase the Miles Per Gallon on a Saturn Ion

The Saturn Ion, which replaced the popular Saturn S-series at the entry-level vehicle, is a car with a variety of features, a middling-high price tag and good reliability. While the Ion already has good gas mileage -- 24 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway -- there are ways that you can get even more miles to the gallon out of the Ion if you're willing to work at it.

Things You'll Need

Manual transmission
Performance chip

Instructions

- 1
  Make sure that your Ion has a manual transmission installed. This won't create a huge increase in gas mileage, but according to ACarPlace.com, it can raise the gas mileage to 26 miles gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the highway.

  Avoid stop-and-go driving and traffic jams. It may seem like common sense, but the smoother your driving is, with the fewer slowdowns and stops that you have, the more economical your fuel consumption will be.

  Install a Saturn performance chip. These chips are meant to help increase gas mileage by a few more miles per gallon, and they're specifically designed for the Saturn engine. It's often best that you have a professional mechanic install one of these chips if you're not up to speed on how engines work because this installation isn't a simple process.
