fuel economy mods?

Don't get the remote start and hop in and deal with the cold

It's what I do. This will be my first winter with leather seats, but at least they are heated!

I have always wanted a remote start but it doesn't bother me enough to install one

Welcome!

If you are concerned about fuel economy, mind which wheels & tires you are looking at if you do decide to upgrade. It will probably have the biggest impact of what you are considering, there are a few threads on this site if you poke around.

Well, tire width and rolling resistance are big ones... Keeping the speed low and the RPM below 2,000. CAI/RAI and an exhaust. Anything to reduce the effort of the car.
