Just wanted to thank everybody who gave their input! Just in case I fall asleep and forget about it haha. I'm looking into all of these things as we speak. I truly do love my super clean Festiva. Just started to wonder other more economical options. But if I can save this one and get her past 30 mpg AT LEAST in normal everyday to day driving I'll be extremely happy.

Now... I usually drive this thing till it has about a gallon of fuel left, this a 10 gallon tank. Now follow me here... Im getting about 260 miles per tank which leaves me at 28.55 mpg or so. If i jump to AT LEAST 300 miles per 9 gallons of fuel, that leaves me at 33.33 mpg. I want AT LEAST that on every tank of normal driving. Do you guys think that a 400w block heater like the one stated earlier, keep my tires inflated to 45 psi, change my oil to 0w-30 and check my timing on the little B3 engine get me this? Obviously my driving style has lots to do with what mpg figures I get but do you guys think if you where in my shoes could you achieve this? Thanks again guys and again please excuse my ignorance if there was any here lol
