Have Money, Will Spend

I have about $500 dollars to spend on my Yaris. What should I get? My goals are good mileage, convenience, and good looks. Any ideas?

I vote for a Scangauge. Fuel economy and convenience.

Scangauge will display fuel consumption and allow you to adjust your driving style, Look for max ignition timing, steady throttle position and lowest rate of fuel use to travel.

You will be able to check CEL Codes which usually do affect your fuel economy.

Tuneups these days consist of little more than an oil change and maybe plugs.
