I would say that the 180 stat and fan are a great idea to help with MPG...   for arounda hundred bucks you can add power and mileage...

but honestly,   with a $200 gas bill a week...  I would find a $1500 beater car.  an older neon or something,  and drive it till it falls apart.  

I spend around100-150 a week on gas,   but pepsi pays me back...

neons do get good mileage,  but a newer neon will run you a summers worth of gas just to get it...

I think going with an older gen 1 would be the cheapest route.    gen 1 neons and chevy cavaliers are super cheap with migh miles and still get around good...   dont buy it to keep forever,  but if you only pay 500 bucks for a car,  it saves you 80 bucks a week in gas...  it pays for its self quick.



and when it dies,  take it in for scrap.   you will get like 150 back for it.
