i get 20 mpg and last week i was able to hang with a new SI (bone stock) but a manual none the less, he pulled about 4 feet on me at the top of second, but didnt get any further. . . our shennanigans were halted by his exit ramp, had we continued i have a feeling by the top of 4th i would have been a few more feet back... but i was still happy with the results

You're auto and not SCed, right? That's relieving~~~

Anyways, the new SI is supposed to be 0-60 in ~7sec, so it's not like it's the new V6s, but my friend who has it gets 27mpg avg...

I'm sorry I didn't understand what you just said...

I think I4 gets ~27mpg, correct me if I'm wrong. If you get 20mpg, you need some tuneup...

Yeah, I'm getting 20mpg average, so if I walk all city, I get like ~18mpg.
Anyways, I think the problem with the mpg is not the engine, it's the transmission. Do you happen to have an automatic?
And maybe you're driving it too harshly? I once drove it hard and got 15mpg at the pump.

Anyways, instead of trying to beef up the engine, I suggest you get another car, or customize the outlook of it (lip kit / lowering), because the solara is built for ride comfort, not really performance. Trust me, I'm in the same situation as you are, except I get worse gas mileage.
