I get around 38 mpg with my N-Line in smart mode. Mostly drive on rural roads for work.
Honestly, the engine’s tuned for fuel efficiency. Maybe shed some weight from the car if you’re really determined, but it might not be worth the money.
City driving only, huh? I get to those red lights fast in my economy car.
You could remove extra seats and panels to make it lighter. Less weight means a bit more speed.
Everyone’s right about getting an N or N-Line if you’re serious about speed. But if you’re set on making the SEL faster, start with basic performance upgrades you can bolt on, like a cold air intake or exhaust system. You could try headers or an exhaust for a slight power boost, though it’s usually just a few extra horsepower. Honestly, I think it’s a bit of a waste, but if you really want to, go for it and good luck.
Got to say, seeing someone trying to ‘mod’ a car you can rent from Hertz is kind of funny. But hey, everyone’s got their thing.
