Yeah, FWIW, I don't expect to see too much WRT changes in fuel mileage for my commute, though the majority of it is on the highway at highway speeds. My hope is to improve things out on the highway when I'm going 200-800 miles or more.

At this point, with 2 kids in college, 4 car loans all of the insurance, it's kinda tough to justify yet another set of wheels... though if I came across an '88 Metro I might consider it...
