One other thing that can be done with NO mods to the car at is is to improve your driving style. Be a little gentler on the accelerator, shift a little earlier on manual shift cars. Spend more time cruising EASY than passing people. When approaching a traffic light, let up on the accelerator earlier so that you might be able to accelerate easier with a rolling start when the light turns green. ....Accelerating from a stop uses a LOT of gas, because the car has to overcome rolling resistance. I sent this earlier, but just this morning it reminded me of an old advertising campaign, the Mobil Economy Run. Driving "style" makes a serious difference in MPG. Another suggestion, if you can tolerate it, is to strip the car of unneeded parts and/or accessories, as those at _http://www.lightweightmiata.com/forum/_ (http://www.lightweightmiata.com/forum/) have done. Personally, I think some of these guys are a little extreme, but it's their thing and it WILL increase MPG. **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
