Hello everyone. Just figured I would post an intro to hopefully get an idea on if what I'm planning on doing to my car will be worth the investment. I have an 07 Honda Accord Sedan 4cyl autotragic, a 95 Subaru Legacy L 2.2l, and an 03 Kawasaki ZX6R

Long story short, I do a lot of out of state driving with my Accord for backpacking trips and really want to maximize my expressway fuel economy. For the most part, depending on speed I already get pretty great MPG's (30-36.7) but I want to step it up even further.

Will the following make substantial gains at 70mph (cruising expressway speeds);
Coilovers
Disc Hubcaps
Full undertray
Partial block off (fog lights, maybe grill)

I'm hoping to get 45+mpg? Is that unrealistic?
