[Backtobasics]

Still toying with a beater vehicle that would at a minimum, double existing MPG to 30.

I have had S10 vehicles in the past (GMC Typhoon) and have always enjoyed them.

I am thinking a 2.8 V6 with 5 speed first gen, standard cab, short bed. I have had the 2.5 before, and it was too underpowered, and worked to hard for basic duty.

I sell accessories for a living, so throwing some "performance" parts that would increase efficiency would not be a problem. I live in KS, no inspection either. They are also cheap to lower, I figure getting it LOW, with a chin spoiler, tonneau cover, etc to help make it as slippery as possible. Sport mirror are cheap and little.

Any success stories out there?
