I have a stock 1993 red geo metro, 12" tires, no wheel covers. I'm close to 48MPG but I really want to hit the 50 threshold. So I want to start with a few mods to help push me over the edge. What should I do? I found some stock (12-hole) wheel covers and those are way more aero than my steelies, hoping that will help a bit, they should be here next week. I'm down for the lawn edging front lip, grill block, etc... just would like to take a poll on what my first few should be.

Thanks!
Jason

PS - I currently follow hypermiler technique as much as I can, getting better. Coast about 2-3 miles of my 25 mile each-way commute right now. EOC in a few safe areas, totaling about 1 mile each way. I do drive 65 on the highway, so perhaps that could be improved.
