Not sure what kind of details you are looking for, but the only mods were a UG, full upper grill block, Apollo intake routed to use hot air and tires at 51 psi front and 45 psi rear. Oh, and I use PYB5w20 oil and MTL in the gearbox.
The PYB was a great boost and you can verify this on my fuel log.
I use the heater/ac as little as possible and try to never drive in the rain.
I also try not to drive the car in the dark or on weekends, using the motorcycle on weekends whenever possible.
It is a "REAL" six speed and I utilize many of the eco tips but all engine on.
Changed jobs a couple of times since buying the car and that is reflected on my fuel log.
Current trip to/from work is a 51 mile trip, go to work on Monday and come home Thursday, so (1) 102 mile trip a week with a grocery store stop in each direction close to my destination.
I drive no more than 65 mph unless a need arises to do so briefly. No drafting as I like a clear view ahead and jazz/blues helps me keep a cool head around all the 'boneheads'.
Love the fact that my lifetime ave keeps going up but 'she' needs new tires soon and while I have been contemplating which ones to buy as a replacement for the last 3.5 years, I am no closer to making a decision. No, I am not an impulsive person. I'm afraid any choice I make will kill my mpg.
I do have a set of 16" hybrid Sonata wheels to adorn her with when the time comes....
