Fairly soon, this car should become a third car for the wife and me. I've been considering making it a toy. It has the 5 cylinder 2.4 liter 20 valve engine.

It could be a high horsepower sleeper, or possibly a high MPG daily driver. Either way, it will require a lot of mechanical work - I do all my own mechanic work.

I don't want to do a lot of work to the car to try to get high MPG, and in the end still just get 30mpg.
