Just a Thank You

Just wanted to thatnk you guys for having this resource to those of us willing to do something about our gas consumption and dependence.

As a small aside, way before I began taking steps to improve my mileage I was always a large distance driver and probably always will be. I remember in the not to distant past where I was Filling up my Vibe at around 287 miles. That was the time the little idiot light would turn on ...

Well 2 months into my driving habit changes and I am currently @ the 1/2 way mark on my gas guage with a mileage reading of 267.5. That's not to say that I have doubled my gas mileage or anything, just a testament to the difference a little attitude change can make.

As a result I posted my Ecomodder signature tab on two other forums I often frequent. My National car club site Scikotics.com and Scionlife.com

Hopefully this will draw attention to your guys and help others in the process.

Because I didn't know there was a forum called Genvibe ... LOL

My life and hobby revolve around Scion, my Mule, the Vibe, is a commuter, therefore I have no interest in sharing stories with fellow Vibe owners unless they are here ...
