Hey guys, I have had this forum bookmarked for over a year now, but I'm just getting around to registering and posting. I deliver pizzas as a second job, and have lost my beloved hyundai accent 5spd (45-50mpg) so am now daily driving my corolla. I need some good tips on bettering my mpg.
the car:
-injen sri
-mwr stg2 cams
-port and polished fed head
-port and polished and perfectly matched IM.
-Full 2.5" Greddy exhaust (no cat, no resonator, gutted exhaust)
-tein ss coilovers (currently at a 4.2" drop, frame rail is 1.8" off ground)
-Greddy Emanage ultimate... Right now I have it tuned to run lean...
-tires: 195-55-15 (I know they are the wrong size, had a triple blowout lol and no cash)
I hope to find some good tips on here about aero mods. I think removing my oem spoiler would help a bit. I have a small rear window spoiler en route. Also I know a 195-65-15 would help at highway speeds to keep the rpms down, but I do about 200miles on backroads a day, so i don't really notice (my speedo says 60 when Im going 56.7mph). I also have a skid plate under my oilpan (so I don't crack another one) but was thinking about extending it into a full underbelly tray ending in a small rear diffuser.
Look forward to getting to know all of you...

do you think the license plate located here helps as a grill block?
My old wheels were far too heavy...
Perhaps my upper grille needs a block?
and the family car, my 25mpg mitsubishi
Thanks for looking...
