Love your car, Superman. Is the “7” in your FRName in reference to the Lotus 7?

My 1985 VW diesel Jetta has gotten 63 MPG but normally is around 55 MPG with no mods whatsoever. 550, 000 miles so far

The most efficient shape is a rain drop shape with large bulbous area forward, tapered to the rear. But cars designed like this are ugly and would never sell...

They were controversial cars, those Boattail Rivieras, but I've always admired them. They customize nicely in the current style. Free Image Hosting

If this guy can do something like this then Honda can do it, too. They should sell a body kit for their Civics that you or a mechanic can add on so you can get better gas mileage.
