Only thing I could find about the Coefficient of Drag was a range. no idea about the frontal area...any help would be appreiated.

Curb weight dry is about 2,000lbs
Current Mods: light foot.

Neutral coast, to preseve my automatic transmission
&
Shut it off at every light.

Use good quality gas every time I fill up.

Tires inflated to 50lbs

Ran through a high quality injector cleaner on one tank, then I bought a 3pack of fuel injector cleaner for 2 bucks at walmart so I will run one of these through on every tank.

I've lost 15lbs!

Newest mods:
Air damn
Lower grill block
Planned Mods: Fuel system cleaning (Done)
Synthetic Oil
Smooth discs
Wheel well covers front and back
Under belly pan
Lower the vehicle a bit if I can find springs for a decent price
Research which transmission would provide better economy...the 4spd or 5spd...and do a swap.
Front grill block (lower done)
More aerodynamic mirrors
wedge nose
Warm air intake
Block Heater (If I can find one)

This car was originaly a rental car in vegas, so Budget had the windows tinted...however...its the old dyed tint from the early 90s...so its purple and bubbled.

I plan to retint All the windows, and add some insulation to the body cavaties.

My goal for that is to get the vehicle to a point were I can drive with the A/C off when its 75-100+ outside. (I'm a wuss so I need my A/C)
