If you do the rim/tire mods, try for improvements in as many of these categories as possible simultaneously: overall tire/rim weight reduction, aero cover or vent blocking, narrower and taller tire/rim combination, and Low Rolling Resistance tires. It can be done. Takes a lot of research. Checkout our wheel discs showcase thread for ideas: https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...scs-37690.html

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
