In late Feb I got a 1992 Saturn SC with a 5 sp. It was a total basket case, but I gave em $300 for it. I've done some work to it, broke the 40 mpg barrier pretty quick but I want 53 mpg from it. Started on some simple aero mods over the weekend along with a WAI. By aero I mean I used all weather scotch duct tape to close up the cracks around the trunk and sunroof. I don't have definitive mpgs yet as I've only driven from work. This trip has been costing me almost a quarter tank of gas, but today the needle is still on full. I'm excited about that. Suppose I'm full-on eco geek now.
