thanks for all the replies guys, and to answer to some questions, there is no downhill to where i live, i live at the top and thats it, but the tranny fluid does need to be changed yes, it is black and low, but how does that effect FE? and converting to manual is out of the question i bought this thing to save money not put more into it. and i looked over to what was to done to the engine and it was timing, pistons, rings, belts, tensioner, water pump, new oil, bearings, valves in number 1 cylinder, and cylinder head machined. I think i might just try to go with Aero mods on this one, fender skirts and grille block as well as removing pass. side view mirror, with all this added up how much MPG difference am i looking at? keep in mind i only go 35-40 mph on the freeway.
thanks alot in advance
