Just got my 05 Sedan a little over a month ago would like to get a little better gas mileage and TRY to offset the loss I will be having with the new 20's I just ordered. Thanks guys!

Don't drive over 60 on the freeway. Modify your driving style

lol just dont get an intake thinking it will increase mileage. Never works. You always end up flooring it everywhere

20's

What size tires are you gonna run? You may have added more to the loss than you think.
