Also, for me personally, even a 0.5mpg increase would be worth it.

From 39.69 to 40.19 MPG, with the cheapest gas in Apple Valley, California being $3.96, you would go from 9.977 to 9.853 cents per mile, and if the modification costs $50, the break-even point should be:
$50 = $3.96 * (0.09977 - 0.09853) * miles = 0.0049104 * miles
miles = $50 / 0.0049104 = 10,182.47 miles

Oh, so you do not plan on driving it 10,182.5 miles?
I am glad that we could have this talk.
