The only real changes to the car from stock have been higher tire pressures, 0W-30 Mobil 1 and a 75% grill block. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same car I bought for $250 on December 21st.
Nice work, I had the best tank of my vehicles life a few weeks ago when it was 40 degree and pouring rain outside everyone on the freeway decided to go 45-55 and I pretty much Idled in OD for 40 miles home. My mileage at that point was around 46. of course the other 400 miles of that tank were my normal 70MPH commute but it brough my overall average up to almost 38 for the tank (my EPA rating is 29)
