Replaced factory steel rims with donuts on the Rear wheels. They are much smaller, but I think the gain hasn't netted positive for that mod yet. The donuts aren't broken in yet and initially they hurt my mileage (on a full tank). They also create a large gap in my rear wheel well which hurts my Cd. However, under car turbulence is lower because they are thinner wheels.
I also did a wiper delete, Passenger side view mirror delete and I taped up the body seams on the driver lights and passenger door (I ran out of tape to do the passenger side headlights).
I expect huge gains once I add the wheel well covers to the rear.

Wow, record day today. Strangely, I drove with the AC on briefly and I drove a little faster than I did yesterday.<br>

I topped it off 19.25 miles @ .254 gallons = 75.787 MPG! I topped it off again at .391 gallons = 49.23 MPG To be fair, I'm going to use the average of the two 62.508 MPG! Total cost to drive to and from work today: $1.33 (@$3.399/gal).
