Heck if you saved $250 a month thats almost enough for a car payment on a hybrid.. but why would you drive a hybrid when your moded out car can do better mpg 
I seriously think I can make a CRX get 80mpg average with full body mods like this.. bet you could do the same on a metro too. Thats scooter mileage ratings in a car! |
ebacherville,if your going for a CRX,be careful,as they offered three different differentials in the 1st generation cars ( Calif.,49-state,and high-altitude ).The 500-rpm difference can lose you 10-mpg on the highway! I know,I got stuck with one.52 vs 62 mpg, really sucks.United States Auto Club scored over 70-mpg in cross-country roadtests with 49-state cars.Don't know about subsequent generations of the cars.
