I have been part of ecomodder for a long time but have not actively partook in any discussions or forums. Lately with the increase gas prices i have been changing my driving habits to conserve fuel. Just changing from driving 100-120kph to 80-90kph has increased our average honda del sol mpg from 22-24 to 28-32 depending on how much city driving we do.
Beginning in april, we will take delivery of a 1994 crown victoria, a hand-me-down. It has 350,000 kms but is in relatively good shape as it was mainly used as a highway car for canada to usa vacation trips and other long highway trips.
Our plans with this crown vic are to use it as a highway car as our del sol is not very travel friendly. We plan to do some of the aero mods listed in ecomodder and hopefully we can get this river barge over the 30 mpg mark on average.
When we take deliver of the car we will start a new thread and we will see what a crown victoria can do. We are looking forward to future posts and suggestions on aero aids and mechanical mods.
