What I mean by driving like a granny is I try to keep the engine at low RPM as much as possible. I will usually run up 1st gear like normal and then shift into 3rd or a quick 2nd-3rd to fifth.

I have not yet inflated my tires to 40+, but plan to once I get new rubber. I have also been trying to get myself to coast more, but its a habbit I'll have to grow into. I'm considering a momentary kill switch since I don't believe my car has dfco, but I'll try with coasting first.

I'm very interested in picking up a Scangauge or something similar. Also considering a vacuum gauge as well.

Just yesterday I added a small air dam to the front bumper, and large foglights that block a portion of the front grill opening.
