Car gets 0 MPG if it doesn't move. If you moved the car without using any gas then 0.00001 mile / 0 gal = undefined = unlimited MPGs, but you only moved 0.00001 mile. So technically if you just push your car a little bit, you will get unlimited MPGs, but not move that far. Take this as you will, but I wouldn't consider it worth the time. Getting 10 MPG moving 2 miles is much more worth it to me than getting unlimited and moving 0.00001 miles.

I've got new pictures y'all. Had some really high numbers from a few short trips the last couple weeks








I have been down with a mild bout of the flu recently. First day I have been able to get outside, and what do I do? New aero mods



Instead of duct tape, I used zip-ties for a mo' aesthetic look. It may look thrown together and not fully covering the grill, but that is part of the "design" that allows cooling air to flow in.

I covered the spaces where there would have been fog lights. I think it turned out quite well ---VVV

I hope your soles are getting roasted by now, bozo!

I have wheel well covers planned for this weekend, along with the addition of a Thrush Turbo muffler! I will hopefully be gaining some of my low-end torque back and thereby be able to cruze with less throttle, = mo' mpgs!

If anything, it won't be annoying to P&G anymore...

Got the muffler on today! $30 to put it on. The mug is quiet! I can actually have a conversation without raising my voice any. It makes slightly more sound than stock, which is fine with me. Low-end torque is back and my FE should increase as well

Nice spoiler :P

In all seriousness, how are you going to access the trunk with the kammback? That's the problem with non-hatchbacks and spoilers/kammbacks/wings, you can't open the trunk easily.

In all seriousness, I simply wouldn't LOL!

It comes down to my uses. I rarely use the hatch. The most I use it is to put my tackle boxes where my spare tire used to go. Can the tackle boxes go behind my seat? How about the fishing rods, some up to 7 foot? Can they be put in from the front? Yeepp... so there goes it's function!

I'll take the ~5% gain in FE any day. That alone is worth the extra 30 seconds to get my stuff out.
