Hello!

Hey everyone nice to join this forum.

I drive a Honda Ridgeline good truck, but the gas mileage is average. I drive the speed limit and I am not reckless on the freeway. I was wondering if any Hypermilers out there can give me a few tips on how to raise my MPG. I'm not one who obsesses over it; I like to get the best out of the things I own, and I am sure this site will help.

Welcome to ecomodder. I would check out the aerodynamics section first to get some ideas.

Hi Kururu -

Welcome to the forum. My brother drives a Ridgeline. Small bed - good candidate for a small aero shell, relatively easier to make compared to full size beds.

Have you got fuel economy instrumentation (OEM or ScanGauge?)
