1) The new (and correct) Bosch ignition coil from FCP made a very noticeable difference in acceleration. But then the old coil (non-Bosch) looked like someone swapped it from a 1957 Chevy. And it had a large dent in the bottom.
2) The new catalytic converter was the only thing that finally worked to get me through emission testing.
3) 93 octane fuel (instead of 87) does improve acceleration plus adds 2 mpg.
4) Free: Removing the front seats so I could vacuum the carpet completely.
5) Driving more gently raised pure city mpg from 16 to 20.
