You got the manual transmission, so you now have a huge amount of control over whether you're going to get 30 mpg or 60 mpg from this car (or somewhere in between). Instant & resettable trip MPG feedback is how you fine tune your driving technique to get the results you want.

Yes, a tune up and basic maintenance are coming soon. Probably spark plugs/ignition, oils/fluids, maybe wipers, etc. I need to do some research for the best weight oil this thing can use for it's high mileage/MPG and what fluid to put in the trans.
MPGuino is on the list as well. I need something to show me the mileage I am getting or I will never learn to drive for mileage properly.
Beaded seats?? That is an idea, though Virginia is going to be cold for a few more months and I can hold off on them.
