Hey I'm Devon as you more than likely guessed. Found this forum I shortly after it started but was never very active. Been visiting the site a bit more often now after deciding to move out of the city and doing a 150 round trip to work everyday.

I share a 2000 Nissan Altima with my fiancée and get around 23 mpg on average or if its all highway I can stretch that to 26 (dead on for what its rated for) but would like to improve that. Would love to have an electric car to do the trip in but doesn't look possible in my budget. Tried reading the ReVolt thread but miles over my head. Since coming back on here thought the though is in my head of areomoding a metro/firefly/swift to death after seeing what can be done with it. I'd live with the looks I'd get to break the 100mpg barrier.
