So we have/are moving out of the bush here in over the last/next month or so. Right now we have a 99 4 door Ford Escort "sport" and a 95 Honda civic DX hatch. Both are manual. Which of the two would be capable of bigger MPG numbers with some mild aero mods and careful driving; grill block, belly pan, outside mirror revise, and rear wheel skirts MPguino civic or SG for the ford. For the civic a mild kammi back, for the ford spoiler delete. If the spoiler on the ford reduces drag it can stay other wise it's gone because A) it causes drag B) it looks dumb to have a spoiler on a 4 cylinder road car.
