Well couldn't tint the windows tonight, had to replace thermostat instead. I noticed my car was not warming up properly from another post I read. It had a 180 in it, so I threw in a 195. A 195 should help FE correct? I also ended up having to replace cooling fan switch it was bad and fan would not kick on. Not that it will much but kinda nice to have incase. I will probably wait until Friday/Saturday to tint. I have to leave windows up for a couple days and don't drive much on weekend and too hot to leave up all the time right now.

Yes, the hotter t-stat may help with efficiency. My car's got the original in it, and it's a 195 (at least that's my guess - it seems to level off around 192 according to the ScanGauge).

Tinted the windows today. Will post a couple pics tomorrow went fishing right after work and too dark now. Also got some gas got 54.2 this time down from last but still happy, over EPA so doing good I think. I also noticed on way back from lake the wheel bearings are squeaking a little time to make some extra money and yank them out of there. That is about it for now. Later gators.

The tint looks sweet!
I would have to say that you came a long way with that car, but the fuel mileage technically should be high fifties or more with an aeromodded XFi. I wonder if your car is actually running up to par? Have you performed a compression test on that thing yet?
