Welcome to the forum, fellow Geo driver.

305k before a rebuild is impressive!

What's your commute like? Distance/speeds/urban/rural/hilly/highway?

First bit of advice: get instrumentation. You want to be able to know your fuel economy on each leg of your commute - it will make it a fun challenge, and is critical for adjusting the nut behind the wheel.

That will mean MPGuino for your pre-OBD-II Geo.
