Nice to see another matrix/ vibe owner modding their car!

I have several nice write ups on what I did to make my car into a 40+ MPG car.

From our wiki (with my data):

side mirror delete -1.6 MPG for me: Side mirrors - EcoModder

Grill block - upper .8 lower .5 MPG: Grill block partial or full - EcoModder

Kammback-.8-1 MPG Partial Kammback - EcoModder

Wheel covers (pizza pans) -1.5 MPG: Smooth wheel covers - EcoModder

rear wheel skirts- .8 MPG: Rear wheel skirts - EcoModder
Weather Spotter Rear wheel skirts - EcoModder

look through those links, lots of user data, all my builds, how to, etc. Whenever you see my user name that data should be right on for your car too!

I kill switch might be a nice mod: Engine kill switch - EcoModder

My kill switch thread:

If you really want to mod your car you should be able to pull 45+ mpg like I do most of the time. I got to 40 MPG just by driving alone, your auto should be good for 38 MPG or so.
