Some of those points will probably just turn into short bullet points, I'm guessing.
Which points do you all think are vital? Which do you think will spark the curious folks to learn more?

1. Why bother? Why care?
Money savings
Pollution
Time at the pump
Observant driver
2. What to do first?
Adjust nut behind wheel
Tire inflation
ScanGauge or other FE instrumentation
3. General road rules
Kill the jackrabbit
Anticipating traffic lights
Highway tips (if time)
4. Summer/Winter Tips
5. Tips for automatics (or specify a couple differences between MT and AT)
6. Basic mods like grill blocks, block heaters, removals (roof rack, dead bodies in the trunk).
Lots of visual examples (less time explaining)
7. Advanced mods like engine swaps, kammbacks, boat tails, truck aero caps.
A few visual examples.
8. Resources and References.
