From what I've seen on the Scangauge, it looks like all the combined mods added about 4 MPG on the highway. But as I started driving the car more, I started enjoying it more, and the nut behind the wheel got a little loose, we'll say...

When I got the new head in, the fuel economy actually went down. I'm not sure if that's from the month-old gas in the tank, switching to winter blend fuel, or just the colder, denser air, but the numbers have been less than stellar this chilly season.


Chris:
I've been contemplating removing the backseat in mine, but I don't see everything weighing more than 25 lbs, and the use of the backseat is worth that much weight.
