Whatever car you own can and should be ecodriven and ecomodded. It is perfectly valid, and all the more necessary when you own a vehicle that's thirsty to begin with. A 10% improvement in a Crown Vic will save twice as much gas as a 10% improvement in a Civic.
However, if you currently drive a reasonable car, and you tell me you want a large car, SUV, or personal-use pickup, I will argue with you and explain why that's a step in the wrong direction (using my own priorities and values as a compass).
The biggest thing you can do to save gas, maybe even bigger than driving style, and much bigger than any mods you can make, is to select the smallest, thriftiest car that will get the job done.
