Shoot, 40mpg would blow my mind, 50 would be insane for me!!! Like I said, Im not gonna go extreme driving wise, but I am gonna slow down, leave earlier, coast when I can, shift at 2K, EOC when I can safely and start car only when Im ready to go. I will mess with P&G and EOC on the streets when noone is around etc. Aerodynamically, Im lookin at doin a simple/clean chin spoiler and some tire spats up front. The car does NOT run warm at all, I believe the emergency bypass built into the Escort thermostat housing is open cause it runs super cool. I plan on checkin that out, puttin a stock thermostat in then lookin at blocking the lower grill possibly as well. Ide like to think that with a full tuneup this thing might have more in store but it runs so well as it is...maybe it wont LOL. We shall see!!!
