I recently found this sight and have been reading and realizing I already do a lot of the tips to improve gas mileage. my best mpgs from the sunfire was a 500 mile trip from northern Wisconsin down to milwaulkee and then back and I averaged 54.6 miles to the gallon. for the trip, i fitted a couple blockers on the vents and tape around the seams between panels and the pastic cladding. I also removed as much extra stuff from my trunk and back seats as i could. Good work on your build so far.
Thanks and welcome! I'm pretty jealous of your 03 5 speed you should create a garage entry for it and then join team pontiac.

Here's the link to the garage to add your car EcoModder Fleet list - EcoModder.com

This is the link to join Team pontiac EcoModder Team Competition

And finally here is the link to the team pontiac thread http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ead-29257.html if you want to join in there too.

I finished the clearcoat this evening but the lighting wasn't good enough to get a picture by the time I was done so I'll try to get those tomorrow.
