I can't express how good it is...
...to know I'm not the only one who is trying to optimize their vehicle with respect to efficiency.
I recently finished my engineering degree, and I have seen what is possible (With commercial projects such as Loremo and Aptera, for example). I seem to be surrounded by people who are obsessed with performance and status symbols...meeting a group of people like yourselves is a breath of fresh air.
I currently drive a pickup, and through good driving habits alone I get twice the gas millage I should, but my current goal is to obtain an old Type-1 VW beetle, modify it with modern technology such as EFI and electronic ignition, and make as many other modifications as I can to increase efficiency.
In the mean time, I hope to learn as much as possible from a site like this. I see a lot of useful knowledge floating around here.
