Know what? I've only ever driven the NA. An aunt bought one new in 1990, and then mine. Nothing to compare it to!

I've read through the thread a couple of times, but I'm still impressed by your results. Most seem to have a hard time breaking 30mpg in an NA. Where is the low-hanging fruit?

Keep in mind my driving environment & style is highly optimal. Most of the car's use is very relaxed scenic route cruising (with lots of engine-off coasting where possible). I almost never drive on roads with >50 mph / 80 km/h speed limits, and a fair chunk is on roads with 70 km/h limits.
I haven't ABA tested anything on this car. But based on a CFD analysis I saw somewhere, the big-ass airdam plus grille block are probably the 2 most effective mods.
I also think the tonneau may be pretty helpful, based solely on the fact that it cuts down noticeably on wind noise vs. running without it.
