I put the courtesy door light bulb in my gas tank this morning to muffle its rattling noise.

Side note: somewhere on this board is a thread about MPG - I don't have half an hour to spend looking for it, but someone made a post about figuring out your mileage w/out having to know your tank's capacity:

Fill up once, drive, blah blah blah, fill up again and note how much gas went in on 2nd fill up. Divide number of miles, km, whatever on odometer by qty. of gas put in, and resulting # gives you your mpg.

I average 28 but since it's gotten cold I'm getting like 26. Gonna (HOLY CRAP THE SUN IS OUT!!!) clean the throttle body this weekend if it's not pouring and see if that helps a tad.
