Xsara ECoupe

After reading en looking and reading again i am very anxious in doing more to my car. When i bought my car i used 1:18 (42.3).

Then i did a partial grillblock and started driving on rpm when the fe was best, and i put 42psi in my winter tyres.

Now i use 1:21 (49.4). So a good advantage. But i feel there is more te gain. So my next 3 steps are an airdam, rear wheelskirts and flat wheelcaps. I think the rear wheel skirt wil do a good increase in mpg, because the rear wheel is close to the and, and the shape on de rear side of the gap is realy bad

But i am thinking that i need side skirts first. or use foam to make a nice incline on the bottom of the skirt. this because i want the skirt go as low als possible to my rear bumper
