I hope you actually needed to install a new fuel pump, those things are not cheap.

Try some fuel injector cleaner and/or fuel system cleaner. I got some fuel injector cleaner before I went to Kansas Speedway, what a way to get the cleaner set in haha. I never pay attention to MPG but I did feel like I didn't need to fill up as quick after that.

I did, my car broke down and it was due to the fuel pump. I replaced the girl pump/filter and it resolved the issue.

Honestly, none of that is going to make a really significant difference. Least of all the fuel.

The biggest thing that affects mileage is how you drive the car, IE your right foot. How fast you accelerate from stop lights, if you use the A/C or open your windows and at what speeds, how fast you go on the freeway, etc.

Thanks, it's a black vinyl inlay, normally they're white. I definitely like them. There used to be 'Cobalt' in silver letters, but I debadged that.

Well thank you sir! I just washed/clayed/waxed it, so I figured I'd take some pics.

I have had no complaints. Average 27 mpg's, decent power stock, and nice styling IMO. My only complaint is the cheapish GM interior, but that's to be expected.

I just didn't like them. It looks so much cleaner like that. Most debadge the whole trunk, but I like the SS emblem.
