I also started a warm intake air system after it got cold that I still haven't quite completed yet, but am not far away. So those are my next two projects - - - and the yet un-installed fuel injector cut-off MetroMPG keeps telling me I should install. I've got all the parts and a plan, just have to DO IT! (maybe I'm a procrasinator, eh?)

Interestingly, last fall I did two things that probably HURT my mileage - - I found a replacement passeger's side mirror and installed it - - - "undeleting" the previous (accidental) mirror delete, AND I removed my coroplast rear fender skirts so an alignment could be done - and never put them back on. So this last mpg number is with both mirrors in the wind AND missing the fenderskirts!!
