Thanks elhigh. I do those things when I am driving...the dealer was astonished to see our front brakes had about 50% life left when we were in around 50k miles. However, my wife does not try to do this much, so I really need to make the car more efficient on its own.

Also, we take loooong drives in this car from California to Utah with kids and need to make the best time we can -- we simply are not going to go cruise the double nickel in 75 and 80 mph zones in Nevada and Utah. For this, I want to make the car as aero as we can get it for high speeds, but realize that most of our driving is local and that is where we need the most help.
