    Haha! After reading that latest Car and Driver review on the Mirage, I finally settled on a name for this car. MoJo

    Wifey re-named the car and it is now called the Space Peanut.

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

    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.
