I agree the only way weight reduction makes a slight gain is when its a large reduction and even better if its rotating mass (for city driving mostly) aero mods are the king ofcourse along with driving efficently. I am currently in the stages of looking and planning aero mods. Since my accent is the gl(blue) model i have the lovely 2 overdrive gears transmission any mod will increase my mpg and it shows. I was getting around 36ish last year in the spring-summer time and ive hit 40 already thanks to no power steering and lighter rims (and some driving skills learned). Saddly i do mostly city-highway ish roads and a small percentage of highway so city mods will help me the most.
