Ever since FE hit the mainstream, I had been suggesting to Scion / Toyota to start making bolt on mods to improve FE in the current line of cars. Rather than bust heads on a tranny flash to get 1mpg gain, why not develop a kammback spoiler, a set of wheel skirts, a better front bumper, small more aero mirrors, hell a back seat delete package, anything that has tangible gains without massive retooling.
