One remarkable thing about this thread is your skill with the mods and the speed you are pulling them together. I don't doubt it's really useful for other Saturn owners. It's useful to me. Thanks again. A question for me and for other noobs or relative novices: Do you have a sense of how much of your FE gain is due to the mods and how much is due to your driving changes. From what I see in your mods, I would guess wildly that anywhere from a third to two thirds of the FE gain is from driving style mods.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
