Coming from the other site

This is my first post on this site. I'm coming from the other site which I will not mention. I see a lot of members from that site here. I'm not switching, but I will be an active member on both. I drive an 06 Dodge Grand Caravan with a partial grill block. I hope I can bring some new ideas for people that drive bigger vehicles such as vans. Thanks for having me here.

Welcome to EM! I think both sites have merit, so your posting POV makes sense to me.

Good to see ya!
My car also wasn't built primarily for economy.
But there are always things you can do, to do better than "average".

By the way, we drove an '86 Caravan for about 9 years before I got my first Volvo. 2.2 liter, 5-speed, got about 27 mpg highway!

Driving Lean Burn '97 Civic HX, lotsa mods by now! '89 Volvo 240 is semi-retired. I did love that car though!
