Smile Greetings from a new first-car owner Los Angeles

I just bought my very first car yesterday, and the first thing I did was register on Ecomodder!

I have a very bright blue 2007 Toyota Corolla Model S. I fear that the car will have a worse drag coefficient and more weight than the normal versions, however, I haven't been able to find out specifics of the model S verses the others for that year. If anyone has a link to comprehensive information that would be great!

I previously drove other people's cars, including my wife's Prius, and am particularly proud of a stint I did in England where I got 70mpg on a little ford rental car rated for 45mpg (by never driving more than 80-90km/hour on the highway, and, erm... some less savory methods that are advised against and which I won't do anymore:-)

My next step is to find out whether it is safe and cost effective to put the car in neutral going down hills and coasting to stop signs.
