Tru dat, Dr Miller! The article I read did all those things, plus made carbon fiber hood and rear hatch, sun roof, etc. Big bucks for negligible gains. In the Rabbit Sipster article he gained about 10-12 mpg from the engine swap (from low 40's to ~55 IIRC), but got another almost 30 mpg from very crude aero mods (floor pan and front treatments, mainly). By the end they recorded ~84 mpg.
