Cool reading the tips about your imprezas - I have a 99 outback sport, most I've got from it was 33.4 mpg on mountain/highway driving. No mods to speak of, just had the passenger mirror tucked in. I usually get 27-28 from driving conservatively, but I don't take a lot of short trips - I usually use a bicycle if I'm going less than 5 miles or so.

I've thought about removing the hubcaps to reduce rotational weight for driving around town but I'm not sure how much that would hurt aerodynamics at higher speeds, I'm curious if anyone can offer any opinion here.

I need to remove that roof rack though, and may take the mudguards off as well, remains to be seen!
