Tire pressure is a good freebie. Drive speed limit.
Is the car auto trans or manual?

It's a manual transmission and has 200,000 miles on it. I should be getting a Scangauge in the mail within the next few days so I'll be able to get a lot more information. I'll look into blocking the grill and I put my tires to their max rating of 44psi.
This weekend I have a new exhaust manifold I'm putting in and we are changing the timing belt. Other than that it runs great. I drove it for the first time this morning on my 120 mile commute and the gas gauge has barely moved so we'll see how far the car goes on a tank within the next few days; I'll post the results.
