Method to share your modding knowledge with thousands of people

Hi All,
For those modders and hypermilers that don't know we have a wiki that every ecomodder user can modify and contribute to.

The wiki has been running for a few months now, there are now more than 5000 views of the main page and many of the individual pages have hundreds of views each. Any new modders or hypermilers are likely to use the wiki as a initial guide.
This means if you have any useful knowledge about how to perform a modification or do a hypermiling method the wiki is a great method to share that knowledge. The forums here are very useful for discussions however for proven methods or data the wiki information wont get lost among the many threads that are on these forums.

Users can do any of the following
- Enter in a new modification or hypermiling idea
- Add or modify methods of performing a modification or hypermiling method
- Add efficiency improvement, cost and duration for your mod
- Include links or pictures
- Add fuel efficiency product failures.

Changing the wiki isn't as user friendly as the forum so for any users that find the wiki difficult to add to, myself and I believe weatherspotter will be happy to help you if you PM either of us. Alternatively if you post your info on the forum and PM us a link we can add it into the wiki for you. If any users have a go at adding to the wiki don't worry if you get it wrong because I regularly look at the change list and will clean up anything that can be improved.

for reference the links are here
Car MPG Efficiency Modifications Main - EcoModder
Hypermiling Techniques - EcoModder
Note: to make changes you have to log into ecomodder

Also if anyone has any ideas for the wiki in general please let us know

Thanks to all that have contributed to the wiki already there is lots of useful info in there now.
