    Only mods I am considering is a wheel/tire upgrade. I am wondering if 15" wheels (p195/50R15) will fit on this car since I have a set already with uni-lug 4 bolt pattern.

    Fog lights might be an option later down the road, but I am pretty much going to leave it stock for now.

    I don't use my fog lights as much as I thought I would.

    Huge difference in rolling resistance between brand of tires. Even your selection of the rim pattern can have an effect. If you didn't select a tire that was rated "Low Rolling Resistance" then you'll definitely take a hit on the mpg's.

    I wish I could run the led drl at night with the headlights. They got a nice glow to them. Early in the am when no one is on the road I run the drl instead of the headlights. Saves energy.energy = mpg
