Stock except for tow bars on the front that I intend to use to mount a nose cone.
Original sticker EPA Estimates:
City 43
Highway 51
Combined 46
These are the numbers I have always tried to live up to, and seeing that when I drive around conservatively these are about the kind of numbers I get (pre-super-hypermilling), I would say they are a pretty good for a baseline. However everyone wants to use the new numbers so everyone can compare their techniques, so i changed them up.

Current Mods:
Running larger diameter 155/80/R13 tires (recommended 155/70/R13)
The antenna broke on the top of the car, so less frontal area!
Convex mirrors inside (for previously intended side mirror delete).

Drivers Side Mirror Partial Boat Tail
Passengers Side Mirror Delete
Front and Rear Wheel Nose Cones
Front and Rear Wheel Skirts
Front and Rear Wheel Boat Tails
Boat-Tail (Partial so overall car length doesn't get out of hand)
135/75/R15 tires (virtually the same diameter as currently, but much more narrow, would require new rims and finding a place that carries them)
I plan on using a fiberglass over urethane foam layup process. It's easy and any custom shape can be achieved quickly and relatively cheaply.
