what model 3rd gen is it?
paras... clear side indicators - i think thats the basics right there!

that would help more in regards to mods.

rear muffler is a good mod - sound and a lil extra power too.

removing the engine is a really good mod for improving fuel consumption. or just not running it..

Lots of sarcastic posts here lol

Full 2.5" exhaust from the cat will no doubt improve fuel consumption. Replacing the fuel filter and air filter incase they're overdue or clogged helps, not really a mod though.

Otherwise taking it easy on the right foot, generally speaking, the 3rd gens are pretty good if you don't drive too enthusiastically all the time. Should return 550-600km per tank if you drive it normally with a decent mix of city and highway.

My TF, have done plugs, cleaned TB, reset the TPS, new o2 sensor, trans service, fixed some oil leaks (yes oil leaks impede on economy as they have a sealed crankcase and if oil gets out, un metered air gets in) . am now geting 600 - 650 per tank, this is peak hour driving, although the eastern is 100k zone, rarely do you get above 60 :(
