By putting skinnier tires on it and changing my driving style i was able to maintain a pretty constant 6-8 mpg gain.
I put 145s on the front of a 36HP Beetle.



When I aged out of the employable cohort, I went from doing 90MPH on I-5 and passing trucks on the right, to sticking to the right lane and being slower than the trucks.
