I'm still pretty new here too, but I've done two things that made a very big difference to my car. First, I jacked the tire pressure to 44psi, and that seemed to add about 1 mpg, then I also built a cardboard grill block prototype that works perfectly, keeps the engine in the temp range it should be, and stopped the parachute effect of that wide open mouth and gave me another 1.5 mpg. I've also adjusted my driving style so all in all, I'm getting about 33.5 mpg combined with my teggy.
Thanks! and Thanks for the Info!! Do you happen to have any pics of your grille block prototype? Im going to see if i can find some LRR type tires in a suitable size for the tegs before i start jacking the pressure up on the tires. One thing that the RS has is the fact it has a lot less heavy parts on it such as ABS and the passenger airbag already being deleted from the factory. If im not mistaken its roughly about 100 lbs lighter then your LS due to this.
