Thanks! Wasn't sure if they came with that from the factory or not. I'll add it to my master list. I'm hoping I can manage to squeeze out 5 more MPG just from modding the engine itself.

Also the ones with question marks are things I'm not sure of. In case anyone wants to chime in with info on whether or not that item could increase fuel economy. For instance, I'm not sure if there are any lighter pistons that would increase efficiency. One would think that forged pistons pack more material into a smaller package. Thus increasing the density, and increasing the weight.
