Been a long time since I last filled, I have only used half a tank, had a couple more old car issues lately. Brake light switch went out lately, kept the brake lights on constantly. The e fan fuse melted, holder to, need to trace the wires to see if I have a short. In the short trips back and forth to work (with the lights on) the alternator cannot keep the battery charged. (Toyota spaced a 40amp) and the heater doesn't work(blows cold air). So I have been driving my pickup...
The car is fuel injected(1st gen) the computer is not a feedback response type. My 97 truck does not care what fuel it gets, while the car is affected noticeably -2-3 mpg difference.

Based on some research I have done (on this site and others) I am going to give some air tabs a try, to see if I can reduce the big vortices on the back window. Also going to experiment with a 30° rear wing coupled with a mid wing(think xr4). This will probably happen in the spring when the daytime temp is above 40°f and lows in the 20°f range.
