Hi Neil,

I own a 2006 Scion xA (Auto Shift) I follow and re-read this thread multiple times. The grill block and moon disks have helped me a lot and I get close to 38+ MPGS on an average. I live in Dallas and drive almost 60 miles daily which has 90% of highway driving. I try to keep the speed between 55 to 60 most of the times. Certain stretch of highway is 70MPH limit and I cannot slow down below 60 otherwise I will be run over by pickups in a flash.

My next attempt is to have wheel skirts installed using coroplast. Any other mods you think which may help? I have not lowered my car yet. I do have basic firestone tires and nothing fancy. I keep them inflated 40psi+.

I would love to get beyond 41 or 42 MPGs on this car.

I log my fuel logs here: 2006 Scion xA Gas Mileage (BlackScionXA) - EcoModder.com

I also saw your fuels logs and did not understand those percentage additions you did. Please help achieve the higher MPGs and any techniques that might help me on my auto shift and driving conditions.

Thanks for being an inspiration and all the help
