Hello everyone,

Thank you for all the tips. Since I am not a mechanic, I can't do the disconnect the SAD suggestion, however I would like to optimize as much as possible, anything I can do to reduce my fuel consumption on a '93 Previa LE.
I've removed the middle captain's chairs (those seats were REALLY heavy) and one rear seat, so that there is only one seat in the back. Also, I am going to buy lighter wheels, but am wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for some good low rolling resistance tires? Also, what is the "air dam" you're talking about exactly, and grille block? Are there links you can direct me to?

Thanks to everyone for posting tips. Seems like the "highway" miles are where the mileage really improves, although I boosted my honda about 8-10mpg by putting LRR tires on it. That was a little car though, and they don't make that tire for a van.
