You can remove the power steering belt and do an A-B-A. I do not have any proof that removing my power steering improved my fuel economy, but it is only noticeable when I am stopped, and it does not bother me. I did not test it, I needed to move the power steering pump out of the way to replace my alternator, and I just removed it. I have not wanted to pull the power steering from my much-heavier Accord, but I might as well for an A-B-A, and perhaps I would decide to delete it.

Then again, I do not want to drive a car that has a roof that flexes over 50 MPH, so I am not sure what I am going to do with that car.

Air dams are considered to be most of the benefit of a belly pan with only a fraction of the work, but all of the cool kids have belly pans...

I am not now, nor have I ever been a cool kid...
