Be cautious of the synthetic fluids- you might find they are better escape artists than the conventional equivalent.

I'm pretty handy with the Mexican overdrive as well as other hypermiling techniques. Although this will be my first economy rodeo with a slushbox

I have already bumped up tire pressures. But I want to get a couple more fill to fills in to establish a baseline before I start on any actual mods. My first fill to fill netted 23.8 on pure gas 87octane

I don't think the motor is down for synthetic. It already has a modest rear main leak but the rear axle should be GTG.
