I never got 22mpg. Even when I would auto cross or hit up the 1/8 mile. Wasn't fast but was consistent. 10.2 in the 1/8 th.

The grill was closed off. And the bumper had three 1 inch openings between the fog.
The rear glass I think was the same.

It was one of those car that if I got the highway rating it was a bad tank. Now I had a 07 Camry se (2.4)that rarely got its highway rating when trying to hypermile it.
Hell look at yoder in my fuel log. He was rated for 20 highwAy. But rarly saw that low.

Funny little trip. Went from charleston wv to canton oh and back a touch over 400 miles. A-c set to auto and cruise at 80 mph fOr most of trip. I drove up we picked up a 02 protege 5 filled the Mazda up and drove back filled both cars up in charleston. The protege 5 got 29mpg and the lex got 30 mpg with its six.

I think the under body will net u the biggest gain.
