Hello everyone!

I've been watching this site for a while now, for about a month. I am happy to say that I have improved my gas mileage(mostly city) from 18... to 25! Just from changing how I drive! I have also found that on the highway, if I keep it below 65, I can get 29MPG highway! That's 4MPG above EPA estimates. I am interested in how much more I can improve it. By the way, I drive a 2001 Mercury Sable LS with the Duratec engine. I am open to any mods that don't look ridiculous or are impractical for a daily driver. The car appears fairly aerodynamic, but I can imagine an upper grill block and an undertray would help tremendously. However, I am not sure how to construct either. I am also open to engine modifications, but I cannot remove my ac compressor because my girlfriend would not like that( I wouldn't mind, I never use it anyway.) My goal would be 35MPG highway, which I know is feasible since other Sable/Taurus drivers report 35MPG highway stock( I don't see how???).
