the amount of money you spend on removing this or rethinking that is probably more then 500 bucks ... so if you are after gas mileage, why don't you buy an old POS and drive the crap out of it for the next year ... and take your 'decent' car off the road temporarily ... here :

drive this for a year and you'll come out ahead ... when your done with it, it'll be worth at least 1k at trade in to someone (isn't there a clash for clunkers equivalent for 1k from the government ?)
