Got something a little more suited for the site.

Picked this baby up yesterday. It's a mitsubishi lancer gts. It's got the manual and the 2.4 (I know, it's the big enigine, but it's small to me. ). Going to focus more on the driving aspect of hypermiling than the modding. Hoping to get at least 33mpg on the highway when I'm not having fun with it.

Cool. Congratulations. I used to get 26 mpg on 800 mile round-trips to southern California driving 72 mph in my SE-R (2.5L engine). I raised that to 33-34 mpg by setting the cruise control to 62 mph, and to 38 mpg by slowing to 55 mph.

Was thinking about that, but I don't really like the delete plates you have to cover the holes left behind with.
