One year in and I've plateaued and while most of the competitive guys out there would be less than satisfied with anything but steady improvement, I'm quite happy. In that one year I've spent a grand total of $160 on mods (a SGII, the remainder of the mods were free or replacement items (tires)), but saved 277 gallons of gas/$960 in fuel costs vs. the EPA Combined rating.

Thanks guys. I'm sure I could take things a step further and eek out another 2-3mpg, but all in all, saving a grand just by learning to drive smoother, EOC, and taking a little more time to get places, well, it's a bargain.
