What's YOUR motivation for ecomodding

[Kodak]

A) 65% Saving money
B) 5% Reducing CO2 emissions
C) 0% Reducing pollutant emissions (CO, HC, NOx, PM, etc) - Hey, it's a nice added bonus though.
D) 20% A fun hobby
E) 10%Other - The ability to reduce stop and go traffic waves

D) Fun Hobby 100%. I use about $15 dollars in gas a month on this car. I spend more then that at harbor frieght each month :-)

I hadnt ever really thought about it.
Id say mostly saving money, and the rest about helping in my little way to slow the destruction of the environment

E) Political.

Some of those states where oil comes from, i'm more than a little unhappy about sending my money to.

[Weather Spotter]

A=80%
D=20%

To me B and C are not worth bothering spending any effort or money on. I believe that Christ is Coming back within a short time frame (next few hundred years) when He does this earth will be burned up so pollution (while not good) are a moot point.

I have spent a lot more money than I will ever save in fuel costs in my lifetime, trying to contribute to a solution to transportation efficiency.

Take 300 billion leaving the US only, put it in the banking system and it becomes 3 trillion in new capital.

Every year.

Now we can rattle on for pages about the benefits, but that is enough.

I like/need to save $$ on fuel
Though the LORD will provide the means for his to continue LIVING well as an example to others in the near future economy ( ie.... we're still driving when other's may be relegated to sitting on their porch because we planned ahead for hard times and will be MORE ready w BioD, our driving methods, and lighter vehs.)

Less polluting is good, but should not be a religion in itself!

Enjoy seeing less waste, and is super cool when a hobby blends w that. Mom taught me to be thrifty, and I love to carry that into excess just for the fun and thrill of it.... remember how you felt inside when you got your best tank ever????

It just feels good, clean, the right thing to be doing.

Don't like relying on anti-American governments decisions on how to affect my wallet, and my FAVORITE activity, which is cross country touring at a very low $$ per hr. fuel cost ratio!!! Cruising/riding in a fuel effeciant veh. in a quiet relaxing atmosphere, is one of my top joys in life!

I tell myself it is 90% A and 10% D, but reality is, I enjoy it more than that.
I keep telling myself I'll save more than the cost of the mods to my truck/trailer over a projected life of 60,000 miles. It looks good on paper, but paper and reality never line up for me. If i make a budget it is busted before the end of the first week!

Yeah, I'm afraid I have to admit that as well
